Overview
Introduction to PISO Map Platform
ABOUT PISO MAP
PISO Map is an open-source map service platform developed by Huỳnh Bá Quốc. The project aims to provide easy-to-use, low-cost, and accessible map APIs for developers, students, researchers, and startups.
Unlike many commercial map platforms focused on enterprise customers, PISO Map targets the software development community, enabling everyone to build map, address, and navigation applications without significant upfront investment.
PISO Map is built using reverse engineering techniques, combining multiple map and address data sources to deliver fast, accurate, and convenient place search and navigation experiences.
