Geo Service
Nominatim Standard Compatible

Commercial Hosted Nominatim Built for Canada

All the benefits of OpenStreetMap Nominatim with the uptime, speed, and rooftop address accuracy required by production Canadian applications.

The OpenStreetMap Challenge

Missing Canadian House Numbers

OpenStreetMap's coverage in major urban cores is excellent, but outside downtown Toronto or Ottawa, civic house numbers are frequently missing from the map.

When an address is missing its number, public Nominatim instances drop to the center of the road or town, causing delivery drivers, bailiffs, and field technicians to be sent to the wrong location. Furthermore, public OSM servers prohibit commercial production workloads and enforce strict 1 req/sec throttles.

The Geo Service Solution

Enriched with Statistics Canada (ODA)

Before compiling our Nominatim and Photon data engines, we merge over 10 million municipal civic addresses from Statistics Canada’s Open Database of Addresses (ODA) into the extract.

Your software gets accurate rooftop coordinates across suburban and rural Canada without changing a single line of your existing Nominatim integration code.

Full Standard Nominatim Compatibility

Forward Geocoding

Search using free-text queries (`GET /search?q=...`) or structured search parameters (`street`, `city`, `state`, `postalcode`) returning the standard Nominatim JSONv2 schema.

Reverse Geocoding

Convert GPS coordinates into full street addresses and postal codes with `GET /reverse?lat=...&lon=...` with sub-50ms response times.

Typeahead Autocomplete

Powered by Photon search engines built directly from our unified Nominatim database via `GET /api?q=...` with origin-secured browser keys.
