Radar CEO here. Welcome any questions or feedback!
As an OpenStreetMap contributor I really appreciate the proper attribution you have in the bottom right, rather than hiding it behind a button like Mapbox and some others do - thanks!

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.
How can you afford to be 10x cheaper? Google being overkill?

#33You had me until this pricing page: https://radar.com/pricing?type=consumer
I'm interested in the address autocompletion in particular, but you guys don't want to tell me how much it's actually going to cost apparently.
I also have no idea what a "monthly tracked user" is or how it's relevant.
LMK when you drop the "Contact Sales" aspect.

Pricing page could def be clearer. Working on it! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37668919

#35Radar CEO here. Welcome any questions or feedback!
Would you consider an API for “style your own basemap” with your vector data? I sometimes find myself caring about if the basemaps look good and fit my use case more than the API cost.
The maps are based on MapLibre (Mapbox fork) so any valid Mapbox style can also be applied.

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...
why is radar blocked..
No idea, api.radar.io is on the block list since January 2020.
The commit's comment is "major update from adaway.org"

Re: Radar Maps Platform
#38What's the terms on your forward geocoding? Many providers have terms that require live lookup of address->latlong, no caching permitted. My client's use case has long-lived addresses that may need to be mapped many times, and currently we're paying for one of the only geocoding services that permits us to persist the coordinates involved.

Not familiar with this list, but I'm guessing overly aggressive blocking of location APIs. More on our approach here: https://radar.com/trust

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.
How would you say you measure up in Europe? How about compared to Apple?
Still pretty good in Europe, but more of a gap. International coverage will be a priority in 2024.
