Integration with major global data providers

The easiest way to ensure that addressing data are available to users is to provide data through channels that they are already using. It is much easier to attract users to use addresses through e.g. Google Maps that they anyway have in their pockets than by asking them to download another and in many cases inferior application that is isolated to Oman.

To this end, it is necessary to find a way to bring our data into the data infrastructures of the major international/global data providers.

Google (Google Maps)

To get a government data provider agreement for Google Maps addresses, you must be a customer of Google Maps Platform and review the official Google Maps Platform Terms of Service. You cannot get a direct “government data provider agreement” for a specific list of addresses. Instead, you use the Google Maps APIs, which allow you to access geographic data, and Google has terms and conditions for that use.

Apple (Apple Maps)

Open Street Map (data source for many)

TeleAtlas (TomTom, automotive)
