Hi,
I was wondering if you guys are considering implementing an alternative to google maps api, since their princing is changing...
Is there a way to do it with Open Street Map?

Thanks,
Markus

We are aware of the changes and generally it will not affect the "average" Toolset User.

This because it will not exceed the limits that trigger payments when you use Toolset Maps at an average level.
What surely changes is Google's Policy that you must register the payment form, in any case, no matter what, if you use their API.

Hence we investigate several scenarios and possible solutions, one of the filed tasks is to check exactly what you request.

I cannot yet share a final statement about it, but I can state that we are aware of it and will do all what is possible to grant a smooth experience with Toolset in Future.
