Getting Started with Mapzen Search

Mapzen Search is a modern geocoding and place search service based on Pelias, an experimental open geocoder from Mapzen and powered by open data. It's used to transform the way people talk about places - with names and addresses - into geographic coordinates.

[REWRITE] Mapzen Search can be used to:

  • geocode addresses, points of interest, neighbourhood, cities, and regions
  • power real-time search autocomplete for places
  • turn a list of addresses into coordinates to plot
  • Take location coordinates and turn them into human readable places, like an address
  • find the neighbourhood, cities, states, and countries of location coordinates to quickly classify where your data is coming from
