Yeah I'd be curious what both your and parent's use cases are that could possibly be covered by other smaller, existing maps services, or if there is some market that remains underserved.
Basically we want to show a bunch of pois around a real estate (like the nearest super market, airport and so on). We build a service calculating those but have trouble getting the data. It is more of a nice gimmick for us. Since the pricing changes using Google maps apis is just prohibitively expensive. There are other companies providing the data but those too are somewhat costly. Maybe we should use open street ma…
Yeah osm definitely has some of that data. Email is in my bio if you want to chat more.
You must live in Scandinavia?!?! 1500 / year in insurance! 500 / year in taxes! Wow ... I pay $12 / month in car insurance, and $130 / year for registration (taxes).
Newer cars have higher insurance as well. I don't see how car insurance can cost only $12/mo. What does that cover?

This doesn't sound egregious to me. I'm 27 and to insure a hypothetical 2019 Honda Civic it would cost me $280/mo in NYC. It was ~$110 to get my license so presumably registration would be similarly very high. It was closer to ~$30 in New Jersey.
I guess this makes sense. I have a relative in Boston who pays $900 / month for a PARKING SPOT.
We have Wise and used this as a workaround like you described. However, Paypal recently ”fixed” this loophole by charging 3% on USD to USD transfers. It’s insane. Have you found a way around this?
Do you need Paypal? Wise offer bank accounts in different currencies.

No and yes. We have a couple of thousand subscription customers using Paypal, which is a pain to switch. It's forcing us to look into other payment providers (like Stripe, which so far, doesn't appear to be evil like Paypal)
