full pricing.
Do I need to pay Google for Maps API usage?
Google Maps Platform has a generous free tier — roughly $200 of free usage per month, which covers most small and mid-sized sites. Beyond that, you pay Google directly based on usage (map loads, geocoding requests, directions requests). We help you set up the API key with proper budget caps so you never get a surprise bill, and we optimize requests to stay well within the free tier wherever possible.
Can you build a store locator for my business?
Yes. We build store locators with search by postcode, city or current location, filtering by store type or services, custom map markers, and clickable store cards that show hours, phone and directions. The locator is fully responsive, fast, and works on mobile where most visitors will use it.
Can you build a live tracking or fleet dashboard?
Yes. We've built live city traffic dashboards, delivery tracking interfaces, and routing systems in production. Common features include real-time vehicle or courier positions, route history, geofencing alerts, ETA calculations, and driver assignment. We integrate with GPS providers, IoT platforms and custom APIs based on your data source.
Can you integrate a different mapping provider instead of Google Maps?
Yes. We work with Mapbox, Leaflet with OpenStreetMap, Here Maps, and Bing Maps. Google Maps is often the right choice for consumer-facing sites because of familiar UI and strong geocoding. For high-volume applications or privacy-sensitive use cases, Mapbox or Leaflet can be more cost-effective and give you more control over styling.
Do you handle IP-based geolocation?
Yes. IP-based geolocation is useful for auto-detecting a visitor's country or city to show local currency, language, pricing or store locations. We integrate services like MaxMind, IPinfo or ipapi with proper fallbacks for VPN users and edge cases, and cache results to keep page loads fast.
Do you work with clients outside the United States and Europe?
Yes — we work with clients worldwide, including the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, the Middle East and Asia. All communication is async-friendly and timezone-flexible.
