Consider switching mapping library to google maps

bradley-holt commented 11 years ago

…or OpenStreetMap. This would be more aligned with the open data mission of Code for BTV. But, whatever tool works best for the project.

@BigHeavyJim had suggested using Google Maps because google donated the BHW servers

I believe we are currently using open street map tile layers via the leaflet implementation.

Good point :-)

This doesn't look like its going to happen. It was primarily motivated by the fact that google donated the servers but I'm not sure thats a compelling reason to use their libraries. Also there are not the resources to rewrite the code on top of google maps.
