We are proud to announce our official partnership with the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (German: Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie – BKG) which is the central service provider of topographic data, cartography, and geodetic reference systems for the German government. The agency works under the Federal Ministry of the Interior, with specialist departments in geodesy and geoinformation.

The BKG offers a whole stack of services and amongst these are a various geospatial API’s based on openrouteservice (ORS). To this end, we are running a clone of our stack in BKG’s infrastructure on-premise which consists of geocoding, directions and isochrones.
