Introduction
maps.guru is a SaaS platform providing a unified API gateway for maps, geocoding, and routing services. Think of it as Stripe for Maps — we wrap existing map APIs, handle authentication, usage tracking, and billing through a single developer-friendly interface.
What is maps.guru?
Instead of managing multiple API keys, rate limits, and billing accounts across different map providers, maps.guru gives you:
- One API key for all map services
- Unified billing with usage-based pricing
- Real-time usage tracking with quota enforcement
- Organization management with role-based access control
