πΊοΈ Free Geocoding API Chrome Extension β Powered by GoMaps.pro (Best Google Maps API Alternative)
GoMaps.pro Geocoding Playground is a feature-rich, developer-focused Chrome Extension that helps you convert addresses to coordinates (geocoding) and coordinates to addresses (reverse geocoding) in seconds β right from your browser.
Built on the robust and scalable GoMaps.pro Geocoding API, this tool is the ideal solution for developers, marketers, startups, and SaaS platforms looking for a cheaper, faster, and fully compatible alternative to the Google Maps Geocoding API.
π What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is the process of converting a human-readable address (e.g., β1600 Amphitheatre Parkwayβ) into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Reverse Geocoding does the opposite: it translates coordinates into a readable address.
This Chrome Extension allows you to perform both operations using GoMaps.pro, a next-gen geocoding platform designed for affordability, ease of integration, and global data accuracy.
