Project mention: Answer: How To Get Latitude & Longitude of a Address using python | dev.to | 2023-10-05You can simply use geopy API to get longitude and latitude from address. geopy includes geocoder classes for the OpenStreetMap Nominatim, Google Geocoding API (V3), and many other geocoding services. The full list is available on the Geocoders doc section. Geocoder classes are located in geopy.geocoders. Here…

Project mention: Why Isn't Taxpayer-Funded U.S. Broadband Mapping Data Owned by the Public? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-26It boils down to the fact that the United States does not have (public domain) knowledge of every address in the country.
The USPS knows about deliverable addresses but won't give that information to the federal government because then it'd be public domain and they would lose several of their primary data moats (Zipcodes, addresses, delivery routes, for example). The Census has very complete knowledge of every address, but won't give it up because it's illegal (see Title 13 of the US Code). There is an ongoing attempt by the DOT to collect a National Address Database (https://www.transportation.gov/gis/national-address-database) by collecting information from the address assigning authorities (usually county governments), but it's incomplete and unlikely to ever be complete because of holdout/underfunded local governments.
There are several address datasets that are private (Google has a fairly complete one, FedEx/UPS probably have the most complete, TomTom, CostQuest, etc.). I started https://openaddresses.io/ to try and collect them (NAD is based off this idea) into an open-licensed dataset.
The broadband companies have records that say "this address is connected to this network, which could theoretically have this service level", but (a) they won't/can't tell you where they think the address is and (b) won't spend the time to match their address string format with the government's address because both are private data.
Finally, without the address -> location data, even if we could get broadband providers to tell us what service is available at each address, we couldn't put that service level on a map because we don't know where the address is.
----
The Markup published some work in 2022 where they used OpenAddresses to use ISP's own tools to gather per-address service offerings and put them on a map. This is what the FCC's broadband map should be doing, but can't for the above (and political) reasons: https://themarkup.org/show-your-work/2022/10/19/how-we-uncov...
Project mention: pelias VS photon - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/pelias | 2023-11-15Photon by Komoot is also using Elasticsearch for validating addresses and locations.
Project mention: Web game (KTM GUESSR) - Guess places of Kathmandu based on 360 view image | /r/Nepal | 2023-07-09This is pretty cool. Reminds me of https://backofyourhand.com game from OSM project. Were you by any chance inspired from this?
We recently integrated a new country-state boundary functionality into our PlaceKit API. To estimate performance, we tested our system against the Google Maps API and encountered unexpected anomalies. A manual review of each discrepancy led to an interesting discovery: we traced all anomalies back to Google Maps, offering a glimpse into its occasionally flawed calculations.
Project mention: Locationator: Access Apple's Reverse Geocoding service from the command line, Services menu | /r/macapps | 2023-10-30Apple provides a great API for performing reverse geocoding (finding the address and other details of a location given a latitude and longitude). For example, Photos uses this to add additional location context to images. I wanted to use this from my own command line utilities but due to the necessary app permissions, Apple has basically made this impossible. Thus Locationator was born. Locationator is small menu bar/ status bar app that provides a web-based API for performing reverse geocoding from the command line. For example, with Locationator running you can do this in the terminal:
