Thank you for sharing. We will check this and integrate it in the extension.

Using free OpenStreetMap bcs you can never trust Google maps and all cost coming with that in future :) https://www.openstreetmap.org

with Leaflet https://leafletjs.com/

Hope CMSjunkies update to 1.9 now!

@ssnobben I feel you on your position, but as someone who is very familiar with how intensive hosting and API calls can be, I really doubt that that will be an option for anyone that will have a severe amount of traffic on their website. OpenStreetMap is an amazing solution for smaller websites but I really doubt we are comparing apples to apples here when it comes to performance and reliability. Google's product is as close as it gets to free and let's be real if you start hitting the paid-for API calls your probably already making capital from the website.

I'm just a realist. Everything in life has its price, you just exchange headaches or data instead of cash but in the end... Its all time and issues = $

@George Bara That's amazing news!
