### "Easy implementation of the reverse geocoding API with exact addressees"

July 22, 2020

I am providing a little GPS Tracking Plattform and i use the reverse geocoding service to get a written adress from a GPS coordinate.

It was very easy to implement the API interface into the tracking software i use. Create an account, create an API for the geocoding service. Implement the API Key into the configfile of the tracking server software. Get exact addresses from the positions of the tracking devices and be happy!

Cons

There are no negative points to mention.

October 14, 2020

We have recently integrated this into our software to help with location information of our IoT devices.

Pros

It was easy to integrate into our software and has proven to be more accurate than any of the other competitors out there.

Cons

Initially there was some confusion on their pricing model to purchase more devices but we were able to work it out with the company to get something that worked for us.

### "LocationIQ for forward geocoding"

May 19, 2020

5.0

Pros

It is easy to use, I was able to quickly integrate it in a python script and it provides very good results.

Cons

Documentation could be slightly improved, for example by listing all the possible values of the type/class of a forward geocoding response object. Right now it's hard to filter the relevant classes without knowing what are all the existing classes.

### "Accurate and Easy Reverse Geo-coding"

June 3, 2021

5.0

Awesome!

Pros

Easy to set up, and always accurate. Very affordable, although we are currently still only using the free version.

Cons

The only con, might be that when stepping up to the paid version there is quite a big price difference considering that we use only a small segment of the very many features.

Reason for choosing LocationIQ

Easy initialization, lower price.
