[Photon] Komoot api vs Photon: Find addresses

[Benoît Bouré]

Thank you Christph,
I’d be interested to know what commercial third party you are using.
I am trying to build something very similar to komoot, where users should
be able to search and pin points on a map in order to build a route (and
save it)
The issue I have with most, if not all, commercial solutions is that they
don’t allow caching or storing their API results.
At most, I can store geocodes for up to 30 days.
Another issue would be that they usually don’t allow either using their
data on third party maps . e.g: you cannot show google API results on a
MapBox map or vice versa. I believe it would also be the case for leaflet
map.
How do yo deal with this?

Cheers
