Genuine question: What does this offer that http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/ doesn't?

Today I use the MapQuest API, and it's been stable and fine for the 2+ years I've used it, and the search has always been very good, intuitively selecting the right entity... i.e. London, UK rather than London, OT, and finding the right lat:lon for pubs and not getting confused by other places with similar names.

Variety is a good thing.

Make sure to pay close attention. MapQuest recently announced that they are going to discontinue their direct access OSM tile offering:

This is part of a ongoing reorganization of their offerings, it wouldn't be surprising if they flipped the switch on their other open data stuff.

Jeez, I had no idea that MapQuest will kill their free access. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is actually why we had to setup our own servers in the first place!

Would you consider adjustments so that subjectively the most important place is returned?

i.e. the London example I gave.

Cool, that's the missing bit of info I needed.

The home page looks more swank.

At a quick first glance: MapQuest has 15K transactions/month for free, LocationIQ claims 30K/day currently.
