On: Show HN: Ridiculously cheap bulk geocoding

[joahua]

IIRC Google's TOS prohibits saving geocoded points. "Caching" is allowed, but I think this has value/is different insofar as it would let you store points permanently without breach of contract.

[yummysoup → joahua]

I wonder if, given APIs for both Google Maps and Joe's Free And Permissive But Sometimes Wrong Maps, you could:

* query both services for each address

* if the [lat,lon] are equal (within a threshold), store Joe's result as correct

* store nothing otherwise

Are you storing Google's results in that case?
