About

Positionstack is a real-time global geocoding API service that provides reliable forward geocoding (converting free-text addresses or place names into latitude/longitude coordinates) and reverse geocoding (turning geographic coordinates or IP addresses into structured location data) via simple REST endpoints with JSON, XML, or GeoJSON responses. It combines an extensive dataset covering more than two billion places and addresses worldwide with scalable cloud infrastructure to support applications of any size, handling high request volumes with rapid average response times and broad coverage. It supports features such as batch geocoding to process multiple locations at once, multi-language results, embeddable map URLs, and optional modules that return details like country information or time zones, helping developers enrich apps with comprehensive location intelligence.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Not having to have an internet connection to use it, and it works with three of my GPSes. Course plotting is always the course I would choose, never a "WTF" route like some others.
  • Simple GIS is a flexible and feature rich application that satisfies all our organization’s requirements. Technical support is both extremely knowledgeable and available! We initially emailed Simple GIS our requirements. They quickly produced an on-line demonstration of how Simple GIS addressed each of our requirements. As a result, I had no reservations about purchasing this application and have not been disappointed since implementation.
  • Simple GIS saved my bacon on several projects here I didn't have access to a professional CAD/GIS person, Learned the basics in less than an hour. The GIS simple people were very responsive whenever i had a question when I reached a roadblock using the software. The final maps I produced passed muster with some very particular regulatory agencies.
  • - Value for Money! Simple GIS is a savior for a lot of people with a small budget. The tool is robust and feature-packed. Gives no reason to complain at its price point.

Cons

  • Is missing a few streets, but updates has fixed some of my issues.
  • Simple GIS Client is not web based. I believe its flexibility results in a little bit of a learning curve. However, Simple GIS Product support has expertise and is always available to assist.
  • Some aspects in terms of labeling were slightly clunky but not a deal breaker.
  • - It could be said that the UI isn't very modern, but most people in the GIS industry care less about that.
