Would you prefer solid price vs. freemium model for vector maps? (mapsson.com) 3 points by pkstn 7y ago ↗ HN
[–] metildaa 7y ago ↗ Is this just hosted OpenStreetMaps? What advantages do you offer over Mapbox? [–] pkstn 7y ago ↗ Good question! Answer is yes, and the difference is solid unmetered pricing! ;) Hosting the whole planet by yourself is not cheap either...Will start by offering nice and easily-stylable tiles, then search etc... And probably will have a free plan as well, let’s see.I have custom-styled tiles running here if you want to preview: https://aviamaps.com/map [–] [deleted] 7y ago ↗ (comment deleted) [–] geezerjay 7y ago ↗ > Hosting the whole planet by yourself is not cheap either...The complete OSM data dump is 40GB. That hardly makes a dent in the wallet in today's cloud market.Even then it's quite trivial to setup a map proxy like GeoWebCache or MapProxy. [–] pkstn 7y ago ↗ Probably not for you then :)I was just looking for this kind of service myself, but couldn’t find.. Having solid price no matter the traffic and nice up-to-date vector map tiles.

The complete OSM data dump is 40GB. That hardly makes a dent in the wallet in today's cloud market.
