PHFor years, building apps with maps has meant one thing: Google Maps or nothing.
High pricing, strict quotas, and complicated billing have made it difficult for students, indie devs, and small startups to experiment, learn, and innovate.
So I decided to build something different.
Something open.
Something fast.
Something for everyone.
No hidden billing.
No credit card requirements.
Just fast, reliable APIs you can actually build with.
Because I’ve seen too many great ideas from students, developers, and local startups die early simply because the cost of maps is too high.
Mapping shouldn’t be a luxury.
Routing shouldn’t be paywalled.
Innovation shouldn’t depend on credit cards.
So this project exists for:
This isn't a corporate product.
It’s a community tool — built by a developer for other developers.
If it helps even one student finish their thesis project, or one developer ship their first app, then it’s already a success.
Right now, this is an early sneak peek.
I’m still improving the routing profiles, scaling the infrastructure, and polishing the developer docs.
If you’re interested, drop a comment.
Your input will help shape something that might become a real alternative for countless builders.
Let’s make mapping accessible again — together.
