I'm looking for a web service providing a full address based on coordinates (and reverse).
I'm ready to pay for that service.
I don't want to use Google's API.
Tell me more

I suggest you try out GeocodeFarm (http://www.geocodefarm.com). You can always just past the address into the address bar the same as you would put it into a form and it will display in XML the output, but it is human readable: 000.00000 -000.000000 Maybe this will work for you. The only issue I see is that you also want reverse geocoding, which I don't believe they offer. :/ |

I was also looking for international geocoding and checked out decarta and viamichelin. I couldn't make heads or tails of the viamichelin site so I moved on to decarta. I downloaded their api and was geocoding addy's in Denmark in no time. Their prices are the best I've found on the web. I called them for some more information and the CEO of the company called back was extremely helpful. Go with DeCarta - first 1,000,000 geocodes are free, $2.80/1000 after that. |

I would highly reccomend deCarta (I also work there). We powered google maps, yahoo maps and a ton of other people. We just announced new pricing. We expose our geocoding (and reverse geocoding) through many different apis. We also have worldwide coverage. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any other questions. I will be putting up the new XML samples later today (china standard time - I am here doing a workshop). We actually have other emergency systems running on our platform. Thanks Steve |
