适合初创公司的地理编码服务？
我正在研究一项使用美国地址的地理编码数据（纬度/经度）的服务。 Google 地图 API v3 非常棒，直到我仔细阅读了服务条款和可接受的用途。问题在于，这些条款似乎禁止将地图 API 用于任何公众无法自由访问的网站的商业用途，例如基于订阅的服务。提供的替代方案是 Google Maps API Premier，但每年最低费用为 10,000 美元，目前这是不可能的。
雅虎提供的服务也是如此。和 MS - 初始费用对于企业来说很小，但对于非常早期的初创公司（甚至还没有完成的原型！）这是不可行的。
地理编码过程需要是实时的，并且体积会非常小 - 用户将在设置时输入地址，并且仅在需要时更新它。
非常感谢任何帮助！
I'm working on an idea for a service that uses geocoded data (lat/lng) form a US address. Google maps API v3 has been awesome, until I read the terms of service and acceptable uses a little closer. The problem is that the terms seem to prohibit use of the maps API for any commercial use where the site is not freely accessibly to the public, such as a subscription based service. The alternative offered is Google Maps API Premier, but at $10,000 per year minimum, it's just not possible at this time.
Same goes for services offered by Yahoo! and MS - initial fees are small for enterprises, but for a very early stage startup (not even a finished prototype yet!) it's just not doable.
Geocoding process needs to be real-time and volume would be very small - user would enter address at setup time and only update it if needed.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

我在几个项目中使用过 geocoder.us。他们确实需要注册商业许可证，但好处是每 20,000 次查找只需花费 50 美元。我还没有使用他们的商业服务，但不知道它们有多可靠，但在启动过程中，特别是因为每个用户基本上只会根据你所说的内容进行一次查找，这似乎是一个安全的选择。
I've used geocoder.us for a few projects. They do require sign up for a commercial license, on the upside it only costs $50 per 20,000 lookups. I haven't used their commercial services though to know how reliable they are, but during startup and especially because there will primarily only be one lookup per user from what you say, this seems like a safe bet.
我工作的软件公司（Safe Software）已将地理编码服务纳入我们的产品（FME）中。该服务是 Proxix 的 pxpoint。我听到了一些好消息，所以也许值得一试？
The software company I work for (Safe Software) has incorporated a geocoding service into our product (FME). The service is pxpoint from Proxix. I hear good things, so perhaps it's worth checking them out?
WorldWeatherOnline 提供地理编码 API 作为其天气预报服务的一部分。不过准确度不是很高。在我国的某些地区，我得到了虚假结果。他们的支持在这件事上没有帮助。
WorldWeatherOnline offers a geocoding API as part of their weather forecast service. The accuracy isn't great though. In some parts of my country, I'm getting bogus results. Their support has not been helpful in this matter.
