Coming Soon

Geocoding API

Forward and reverse geocoding will let you turn addresses into coordinates and back — no infrastructure to run.

Powered by Nominatim and OpenStreetMap data.

Same Story as Self-Hosting OSRM

Self-hosting Nominatim (the open-source geocoder behind OpenStreetMap search) is its own heavy lift — a large RAM/CPU footprint, a multi-hour import, and ongoing OSM data updates to keep it accurate. Enterprise geocoding APIs solve that, but at enterprise pricing with "contact us" sales calls. We're building the same affordable, hosted middle ground for geocoding that we already offer for routing.

What's Coming

📮 Forward Geocoding

Turn a free-text address into coordinates — "350 5th Ave, New York, NY" → lat, lon.

📍 Reverse Geocoding

Turn coordinates into a human-readable address — useful for labeling GPS points, driver locations, or map clicks.

🗺️ North America & Europe Coverage

Scoped to the same regions our routing APIs already cover, built from OpenStreetMap's address and place data.

FAQ

Is geocoding available today?

No — join the waitlist above and we'll email you when it ships.

Why Nominatim instead of a proprietary geocoder?

It's the same open, OpenStreetMap-backed approach we already use for routing — no licensing lock-in, and it keeps pricing on the affordable end of the market.

What coverage will it have?

North America and Europe to start, matching the coverage of our existing routing APIs.
