A Geocode Earth alternative with routing and map tiles
Geocode Earth and Mapricot both run Pelias, the open-source geocoder, on open data. Geocode Earth focuses on search. Mapricot adds nearby places by category, routing, IP geolocation, and free map tiles, under one key and one price.
Equivalent APIs
Each Mapricot API next to the Geocode Earth product that does the same job. Mapricot's API isn't compatible with any other provider's, so switching means changing requests and response handling.
