Feature Request: OpenStreetMap as additional Map Service

Post by Worti »

Hello Jan,
first of all many thanks for your great work. I know that this is a lot of work and that you are spending a lot of your free time for this project.
I saw last weekend at the openrheinruhr.de that the OpenStreetMap Project now is very detailed in the lower setteled regions. For me there is now time to change some things: GoogleMaps is a great feature for free but I do not want to subbmit Google every place I want to go or to drive to.
So it would be nice if you could add the OpenStreetMap Project as additional map service.

Kind regards
Markus

Dear Jan,
Thank you for this marvelous component. I have been using it for some time now. During an event last weekend I ran into license limitations on the google map. Google has changed license from 25.000 geo codings to 25.000 images per 24 hours, B4 you have to pay for using the map service.
My web page is used for event with a lot of groups which must be displayed on the map on a number of computers, so after only 2 hour the google maps vent grey.
I found another module using Open Street Map which I then had to use for the rest of the weekend.
The OS module is a module and the only way to change positions, images etc. must be modified within the module :cry:
I really would appreciate if you could include Open Street Map as a selectable option to your fantastic component :)
The Best
