Covering roughly 70% of our planet, the oceans are both critical to life on Earth and home to several nuggets of #geoweirdness. They also present something of a challenge to geocoders given their vastness and lack of... landmarks. Find out how we tackle this and learn about some of the most interesting geocuriosities of the seas in this #geoeducation thread on the oceans.

Softwareentwicklung
We run a highly available, simple to use, worldwide, geocoding API based on open datasets like OpenStreetMap.
Info
We provide a highly available, easy-to-use, forward and reverse geocoding API. Key benfits of our service are: * Worldwide coverage and built using open data, which means much more flexibility with what you can do with the data. * Affordable, predictable pricing with the most generous terms in the industry (no surprise pricing due to unexpected usage). * A generous free trial so you can test thoroughly, and SDKs for over 20 programming languages so you can get started very quickly. * Our redundant EU data centers ensure we're highly reliable, but also that we are fully GDPR compliant. Most of our customers are from the vehicle tracking, IoT, and data processing industries. Typically we can cut their bill by 50+% when they switch to us from one of the large, proprietary geocoding services (Google, etc). Please contact us today if you have any geocoding needs.

The #GIS community shares a passion for data, open source and maps... but there's one thing that lives above and beyond in the hearts of all of us: Enclaves and Exclaves. We love them for their #geoweirdness and the geocoding challenges they present... everything. Enjoy! #Enclaves #Exclaves #maps

Another week, another #geoweirdness thread for you! This week we look at Morocco, a country with astonishing food, culture, architecture and geo. Enjoy! #geospatial #morroco #GIS #maps

For today's #Geoweirdness thread, we head to Scandinavia (and the Nordics... as you'll find out in the thread) and look at #Sweden 🇸🇪 Enjoy!

Our very own Ed Freyfogle shares the pleasures and pains of running a geocoding service on Wilfred Waters, GISP's Geospatial Index podcast.
In this #GISchat, Ed Freyfogle, cofounder of OpenCage GmbH, tells us all about geocoding with open data: 🎥: https://lnkd.in/eW3G_M3u 🎙️: https://lnkd.in/ewSmKp9i 🗞️: https://lnkd.in/edixyhiR He is also the convener of Geomob and hosts a podcast of the same name. The next event is Sept 18th, 2024 in London. THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~5% annually (after inflation and after adjusting for base rates). This rate varies significantly, however, by sub index. For $480,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.

It has been out pleasure to financially support MetaCPAN for the last few years. In this article we go into a bit of background about why we do so (spoiler: because Perl is great).
OpenCage has been a generous sponsor of MetaCPAN for some time now. Co-Founder Ed Freyfogle explains why OpenCage uses Perl and why supporting Open Source is important. https://lnkd.in/gyTFjRfz

OpenStreetMap turns 20, and we're here to celebrate 🎉 🎉 🎉 The impact they've had on the #geospatial and #maps community around the world is astonishing, and we're delighted and humbled to have had the opportunity to interview some of the leading contributors to open mapping and geodata: Here's a thread covering all the interviews we've done over the years on our blog for you to enjoy.
