If you need a service that offers positioning data your robotics project can rely on, Point One has a precision location stack that offers centimeter-accurate, globally referenced position information. The service includes Polaris RTK, Atlas INS and a GraphQL API for easy integration, and is designed for navigation challenges in robotics and other areas. It offers real-time observability and advanced device management, with pricing tiers to accommodate different needs.
Another powerful option is Radar, an all-in-one location platform that focuses on accuracy, privacy and developer experience. It offers hyper-accurate geofencing, powerful mapping and strong enterprise-grade privacy controls. Radar also offers a free plan for up to 100,000 API calls, so it's a good option for smaller projects, but its tiered pricing plans accommodate larger ones.
If you want a more flexible option, Mapbox offers APIs and SDKs for building interactive maps and advanced navigation. It offers live-updating data, traffic-aware travel times and precise location search, backed by global data from more than half a billion monthly active users. That makes it a good option for connected navigation and smart location features.
And then there's Geoapify, a full location platform that offers APIs for mapping, geocoding, route optimization and spatial analysis. It uses open data sources to deliver results, and developers can build custom maps, optimize routes and analyze spatial data without limits on storage or redistribution. Its tiered pricing plans, including a free option, means it's good for a variety of uses.
