A Canadian Sovereign Alternative to LocationIQ
Identical OpenStreetMap Nominatim and OSRM compatibility with guaranteed domestic Canadian hosting, zero request logging, and flat pricing in CAD.
LocationIQ vs. Geo Service
Comparing two hosted OpenStreetMap API platforms.
| Feature | LocationIQ | Geo Service |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Infrastructure | US & European data centers | 🍁 Beauharnois, Quebec, Canada |
| Query Privacy | Web server logs retained for metrics & abuse | Strict zero-log architecture (counters only) |
| Billing Currency | USD with foreign conversion surcharges | Canadian Dollars (CAD) |
| Nominatim JSONv2 Format | Supported | Supported (100% drop-in identical) |
| OSRM v1 Routing | Supported | Supported (100% drop-in identical) |
Zero Query Telemetry
When you search for residential addresses or commercial drop-off points, our gateway validates your key, passes the query to memory, and records a daily integer counter. Nothing else is preserved.
Instant Migration
Since both platforms honor the upstream Nominatim parameter conventions (format=jsonv2, addressdetails=1), migration takes less than 5 minutes.
Low Domestic Latency
Serving Canadian users from within Canada eliminates international transit hops through US backbones, resulting in lower network jitter and consistent sub-50ms round-trip times.
