find another API instead of google map API

Question

I'm developing an application which use map. I'm trying to avoide google API (because their request time are limited). I want something complete free but can provide feature like geocoding, reserve-geo, find nearest place ... Any suggestion ?

Have you looked at geonames? They are using googlemaps as well as openstreetmap for the forward and reverse searches. I know openstreetmap can handle everything that you are asking for.
