Use different map service #12

Google now force you to add a credit card on to your account before you can use their API. I do not like this from Google where you need to add a credit card on to use a free tier.

Perhaps look at MapBox or Bing as an alternative.

Hi Jon,

We do plan to implement mapbox & OpenStreetMap in the future. Yes, relying on Giants isn't necessarily a good idea.

A good number of people however still prefer google and hence it's the first one we did.

Thanks, Chetan

Fair enough. The credit card thing is killing Google maps

I think Google Maps will always thrive because of the monopoly they have.

Maybe you also consider Yandex maps? This will give more loyalty from users from Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Oh yeah sure... They are on the list.
