    Hey joelhaasnoot! Thanks for letting us know. That is definitely a bug in our pricing table. We'll correct that.

    Makes sense. We'll look into it!

    We do not currently. Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean? Do you mean rendering the map differently based on a user's likely view of disputed borders, etc.? Basically s…

    Good question! We are in direct competition with MapBox, and they are perhaps our biggest competition just based on data sources we use and goals, etc. We believe there are advanta…

    Thanks for your feedback Chris! We'll look into those display issues right away. We pushed a new design before the HN post took off, and we clearly missed a few details. Regarding …

    Ah! Thank you. We'll correct it.

    We wondered the exact same thing. That's why all of our paid tiers allow it. :) We do require a paid tier because almost all asset tracking applications are commercial, which based…

    It's not a bad suggestion, but this would be a violation of our terms (as well as any other paid map service provider that I've ever seen). We'll look into ways to remove the terms…

    This is something we do not currently support because our billing is based on always being the host; however, we're keeping our eye on GDPR and its requirements on the market, and …

    Correct. We have also contributed to OpenMapTiles, and if you are interested in self-hosting and/or are very cost sensitive, we'd highly recommend checking them out (they also have…

    Yes, that's something on our TODO list, but none of our existing customers have expressed mobile as a pain point yet. If you don't mind elaborating, we're curious what you are look…

    Thanks for catching this. This was indeed an oversight on the attributions page. Valhalla is now credited on the attributions page as well as the docs.

    Thanks for the suggestion! This is something we're looking into and would love to provide. Would you prefer this be provided as a downloadable dataset or a linkable dataset to use …

    Hey ggm, could you elaborate on what's broken? We just checked with the same browser and OSX, and the page looks to be correct. Thanks!

    Thanks for your kind words! We care about internationalization a lot (both of the founders live outside the English world), and we're glad to see we can help you out with that. We'…

    Thanks for your feedback! I can see where you're coming from. If you're using vector maps, you can definitely remove that layer, if you wish. If enough users request a basemap with…

    We do use data from OSM, but if you want to use it reliably and consistently, you would need to host the data yourself or use a third-party service (such as Stadia Maps). OSM imple…
