Is there a good updated source for comparing existing Geocoding APIs (i.e. Google, Mapquest) and their features?
I'm really interested in their language support as well. For example, Google has libraries for its Geocoding service in JavaScript, Java, Python, and many more.
Answer
I did a simple comparison a year ago showing eleven different geocoding services, free ones as well as pay services, and the results are in a google spreadsheet. I work at SmartyStreets, so you'll see that listed in the first column but not in first place. I tried to make the comparison unbiased so the results are actually useful. I have now opened the comparison chart for editing by anyone. If you can add to it, please do. Keep your edits objective, don't try to spin things.
The exact location was determined visually by finding the location on googlemaps and dropping a pin there to obtain the lat/lon.
