就距离矩阵（距离和时间）而言，事实API与Google Places API

Question

I need enough accuracy in my app but Google Places seems to be poorly accurate filtering by category. So I'm considering migrating to Factual API. Do you guys have used it? What do you think about its accuracy?

In the other hand, I NEED to know the distance to a place and the estimated travel time. I'm getting this info with Google Distance Matrix API, but I don't know if Factual has this functionality or not.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

我将Factual的api用于一个应用程序，其结果比Google Place的要差，至少对于超级市场/杂货类而言

Answer 2

如果Factual API允许您在Google Map上显示数据，则可以将Factual数据与距离矩阵一起使用。

Answer 3

Factual provides distance in query results(in meters from search center). It has a much better category tree system. Factual allows "IncludeAny(Category ids)" (Google only has single level types and does not allow multiple types search). What I do is use Factual for initial search and Google Places for detail on a particular place. Google places has photo[s], reviews(3)and openNow(boolean).

The quality of data is slightly better in Google. (Both need work)
