European maps API services
Maps, geocoding and routing from European providers
Replaces: Google Maps Platform · Mapbox
A maps API service supplies map tiles, geocoding, routing and place search over an API you can call from a website or an app. A restaurant showing its location, a logistics tool planning a route, a property site drawing a search radius all rely on one. Most build on OpenStreetMap data and let you restyle the map to match your own design.
Every map you embed sends your visitors' locations and IP addresses to the tile server, which is a quiet data transfer sitting on your contact page. MapTiler, JawgMaps and Geoapify are European providers in this list. Choosing a European alternative to Google Maps keeps those requests in the EU, and open data underneath means your coordinates and styles stay usable if you switch.
