Over the past week I built a project to let people self-host an entire maps stack so they don't have to send data to the big G. Right now it includes a base map, geocoder and directions server. Currently only bicycle directions are supported, and I'm only hosting tiles for Seattle because I'm unemployed and can't afford to host data for the whole planet. Check it out! https://maps.ellenhp.me/ https://github.com/ellenhp/headway Ultimately I'd like to really focus on transit routing (not implemented) but I'll probably throw a driving mode in there too.

Hi, HN, I'm Roshan and I'm part of the team that's launching the Placekey today at https://placekey.io. It is a free and open universal standard identifier we built so that data pertaining to places can be shared across organizations easily. A Placekey is a short identifier that has Address and POI sections detailing What is at a place and a section describing Where on the globe the place is. Eventually, there will be a Placekey for every place in the world, even those without postal addresses. US geospatial data from a large array of partners…

I've recently been working with real-time geoJSON data at a rate of 50+ queries per second. SaaS solutions can be prohibitively expensive at this rate, thus, I created go-reverse-geo. Data is pulled from geonames.org and is stored in MongoDB (a requirement of my current project). It is very much a work-in-progress (I wrote it this morning). Hope someone finds it useful. https://paranoia.dev/vivi/go-reverse-geo

I find myself often texting people, "where are you?" so I wrote this little iPhone app that lets me text them a special link. When they click the link, it uses the HTML5 geolocation API to report their location and shows it on a map. http://whru.at/ It's only as accurate as the HTML5 geolocation API, but I've been finding it pretty useful. What do you think?

Hi everyone, We at NetToolKit are launching a new geocoding and map tile service and we would love your help. You can compare the accuracy of our geocoders against several others at https://www.nettoolkit.com/geo/demo and you can find out more about the service at https://www.nettoolkit.com/geo/landing. We’re looking for help primarily in two areas: assessing the accuracy of our geocoder and figuring out what it would take to sign up customers. For the first area, anyone who is familiar with US addresses can help by visiting…
