What it does

Turn addresses into coordinates, autocomplete searches, and reverse geocode through a straightforward API. Start with 50,000 free requests a month. Keep your results, subject to the underlying data licenses . Powered by OpenGeocoding , the source-available geocoding engine we build and maintain. Backend timing: 4.71 ms request-weighted mean across approximately 87,864 completed RPC observations, from 18 October 2026, 11:55 CEST to 19 October 2026, 11:55 CEST , rounded to the nearest millisecond. Over 99.9% were address searches; this is not an all-endpoint benchmark. The timer excludes the public API edge, network time and response serialization/delivery. Public and internal callers are not…from opengeocoding.com

    An 'offline' reverse-geocoder API written in Go2020 · ▲14

    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

    OpenFreeMap – Open-Source Map Hosting2024 · openfreemap.org · ▲848

    Hi HN, After 9 years of running my own OpenStreetMap tile server infra for MapHub (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11389989), I've open-sourced it and launched OpenFreeMap. You can either self-host or use our public instance. Everything is open-source, including the full production setup — there’s no 'open-core' model here. Check out the repo (https://github.com/hyperknot/openfreemap). The map data comes from OpenStreetMap. I also provide weekly full planet downloads both in Btrfs and MBTiles formats. I aim to cover the running costs of the public…

  • Get any piece of Google Earth as a single normalized glTF 3D model2023 · github.com · ▲177

    Google released an API in May to get fetch 3D Tiles of anywhere on Earth. Using this in standard 3D engines like Blender is tricky because (1) the tiles are in a geographic coordinate system (2) you get a lot of little tiles at varying quality levels I wanted to simplify this so all you need to do is get an API key, select a map region and a zoom level, and get one combined glTF file that you can throw into any engine. Especially if you're just prototyping and want to see how this data looks in your engine before investing in figuring out all the nuances of the API & coordinate system. (Note…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
