![]() Q: if these mapping services are using OSM data on the backend, what value are they adding versus having PureMaps itself parse the raw OSM data? (asked by twrightsman)Ī: In practical terms, OSM data is available as PBF or XML. With one company we had to close the support as it became clear that we don’t have any viable scheme for paying for maps. As a result, I am getting regularly issues like HTTP status code 403 Note 2: In context of Pure Maps, we are getting hit with monthly free limit for tiles every months. One can argue on whether they serve ads, I just don’t know. Note 1: Some companies: Mapbox, Maptiler, Stadiamaps, HERE, to name few. But that’s expectation from my maps use and I have no idea on what kind of overheads we should expect. I am sure if such service would exist, it would be of interest to other mapping apps as well, not just Pure Maps.įor reference, I would expect to have a fee below 10EUR/year. I wonder whether we have people in the community with the expertise on setting up companies and whether such scheme would work taking into account relevant laws. Such as having ability to get many API keys from service, get stats on every API key and change the keys via API. Lots of infrastructure is already there for several mapping companies, we can probably get something like it negotiated while adding as backends for Proxy company. This should be possible through providing API keys for services via Proxy company API, by having each user accessing their individual keys. Users would pay for services that they used and probably some overhead for keeping Proxy alive. On mapping app side, each user would have account with Proxy company and would be able to fetch corresponding API keys.
