Check if Google Maps API is compatible with recent changes #32

Check if the maps connector works with changed pricing model of Google

danielsteiner commented 6 years ago

I'd rather use an OSM dump and do the geocoding on our own servers. The problem with Google is, that pricing options can change and IIRC requests are quite costly.

Just looked that up again as I wanted to use GMaps on another project - Google stoppeed offering free Keys in June and give you 200$ credit per month now. I'd really rather switch to Here https://developer.here.com/develop/javascript-api or Open Street Map https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenLayers

Isn't CoCeSo using basemap? I am quite sure that I used its config in the geoclient.

robo-w commented 6 years ago

@heinrichmartin CoCeSo uses basemap for the map layers, but also the Google Maps API for geocoding and reverse geocoding. This is also a problem for offline work.

OSM would be our friend then.
