While Google Maps is the default choice, I know there are other APIs out there that might be more cost-effective, customizable, or better suited for logistics-heavy use cases.</p> <p>Some options I’ve come across include:</p> <p>Mapbox – highly customizable, great visuals, offline support</p> <p>HERE Maps – strong routing and fleet management tools</p> <p>TomTom Maps – real-time traffic and navigation APIs</p> <p>OpenStreetMap (OSM) – free, community-driven, flexible</p> <p>Esri ArcGIS – advanced geospatial analytics</p> <p>What I’m curious about:<br> Which APIs have you integrated into logistics or delivery platforms?</p> <p>How do they compare in terms of pricing, scalability, and features?</p> <p>Any hidden gems or underrated APIs worth checking out?</p> <p>I’d love to hear from other devs who’ve tackled similar projects. 🚀</p> api discuss help webdev
