We need to find a proper API to user. We should focus on finding one that has unlimited accesses, and fits our necessities. In addition, it has to be efficient.

As far as I know, we have these options:

Google Maps (paid)
Mapbox (free until 10,000 queries, then paid; uses OpenStreetMap data)
Leaflet (technically not an API, but a wrapper around OpenStreetMap, I think)

Considering we want to avoid spending money, I think we should use Leaflet, even if none of us has used it.

Since we are having the discussion of the architecture in another issue, I close it.
