computermax2328 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi All, It is nice to be back on the forum again! I was wondering if anyone knew about any cost effective API's for geocoding. For anyone who does not know what geocoding is, it is when a user submits an address and you then convert or geocode that address into latitude and longitude. A project that I am starting up requires an API that uses latitude and longitude and the parameters in the method. I know that Google, Map Quest and Yahoo all have API's for geocoding, but I am looking for something a little more cost effective that can take a little more traffic before hitting the limit. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 https://github.com/geocoder-php/Geocoder Simply chain Google, Yahoo, MapQuest, OpenStreetMaps, etc.. If you hit your limit, it simply selects the next one in the chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
