How does your POI database compare to Google's?

Google is the gold standard, but our coverage is quite good in the US. We incorporate a mix of open and commercial datasets both for POI and address data.

The map isn't visible on my devices. I have a pihole on my network and the "stock" block list contains api.radar.io The list https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/h...

That's a pretty aggressive list...

Not sure if I missed it, but how do you calculate address completion request? I mean, Google let me pass a random key for every Word I type and charge me once. Do you have something similar? Or each letter counts as 1 request?

Thanks for this great Project!

How would you say you measure up in Europe? How about compared to Apple?

How much is this compared to Google maps?

More details in the post, but Google starts at $7 per 1K map loads and $5 per 1K geocoding API requests, whereas Radar starts at $0.50 per 1K for both. We've roughly been helping our enterprise customers cut their maps bill in half.

Hey that is a fantastic price. I'll check it out, thx

Pricing is per API call right now, but we're planning to add "per session" pricing in future.
