Hello, with the recently announced changes to the Google Maps API we need to use a different platform for our maps. Toolset seems to be limited to Google Maps, is there any option to use Open Street Maps or Bing or similar? If not, then I'm sure that there will be a number of requests for this with the Google Maps API changes.
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Well - we are aware of the changes that google has made with API key usage.
There is no way for now to use different platform like Street Maps or Bing but I will take this as a new feature request and send it correct department for assessment.
We are aware that many users will not be happy with Google Maps API changes, but we think it will still stay free for the huge majority of users. And we'll do our best to make sure that it stays free for the users who don't want to pay.
We are thinking on it and if we found the way, you will see its implemented in near future release. Please note that there is no ETA for that.
Thanks, yes please do escalate this as urgent. We are a not for profit and our site very much relies on mapping so doesn’t fall within the free tier which has been drastically reduced by Google from around 750,000 requests a month to 28,000 from what I understand. We may have to rebuild the site without toolset if there are no options for another map provider which would be a real shame and very time consuming.
Yes - Our Devs are already aware of this change and we will try our best to find solution for this issue. I will add your voice to our internal ticket.
Well - to implement such feature it will take time and there is no ETA on it. I suggest you should keep eye on our blog to get latest updates and news and close this ticket for now.
