German maps API for developers
GermanyEU Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedHigh non-EU dependencyScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Operational dependency warning
Current public evidence shows 4 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 4 providers: Amazon Web Services, Google, Mailchimp, Postmark / ActiveCampaign. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
OpenCage is a maps API service from Germany. It gives developers programmatic access to map data for their own products, with SDKs for several platforms so you can call it from the language you already use, and an iframe integration for websites that just need a map on the page.
The service is run by a German company, which makes OpenCage a European alternative to the American maps APIs and keeps the location queries of your users with a provider under EU rules. It suits developers and businesses that need maps or location data inside their applications.
Pricing starts at 45 euro per month for 10,000 requests per day and 15 requests per second.

Public website
Why this matters
This public website route ends on Amazon Web Services, whose European seller is wholly owned by Amazon.com, Inc. An EU region can provide European data residency but remains under US ultimate ownership. DNS does not reveal the AWS region, the core service's host, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
