Currently I am using a map service to show the real world map overlayed on top of the guesses once the game is over
Is this a good feature?
The downside is the only free way to do this is using OSM but that has some issues:
the country names are shown in the language (and alphabet) of each country instead of the user's language
there's no possibility to change the map at all e.g. inverting it for dark mode, showing terrain/sattelite images etc.
There are plenty of other map tile sources such as mapbox but they all are only free up to a certain amount of usage and we could start ending up needing to pay for the data. It's also possible to build our own tile server but that can also be expensive
Especially if we use mapbox we should also consider using mapbox-gl instead of leaflet for rendering the map. It has some pretty awesome features like 3d maps
