About

Gisgraphoid is a part of the free open-source Gisgraphy geocoder (as the Gisgraphy address parser, and the Gisgraphy geocoder). It provides you the ability to do geocoding on your Android mobile or tablet with the same Geocoder API as Google but with Gisgraphy. It is free, does not require the Google API on the phone, has no API key and no limits (when installed locally on your servers). You can display the results on OpenStreetMap or Google Maps (Google API key required). The Gisgraphy geocoder can be used when no geocoder is present.

Source code

The source code is freely available on Github.

Terms and conditions

The goal of Gisgraphy is to provide a free open-source and production-ready geocoder. You can test all the Gisgraphy web-services on services.gisgraphy.com. You can find all the necessary information on terms and conditions here. You can use Gisgraphoid with the free web-services for testing, but do not use the free services for production. You can easily install Gisgraphy on your own server, or if you need, we can provide Premium services. For the moment free services do not require a Gisgraphy API key; if people abuse the free services, we will be forced to restrict access.
