OPen Street Map

Post by JOHN_T_65202 »

Hi, just wondering if you are still working on the Open Street Map integration or are you finished? The reason I ask is, if you Zoom in, it takes a long time to reload. Thanks for a Great service.

Hello,
Actually there is no working on the basic service of Open Street Maps. Zooming works fine for me. Please try again, maybe the Open Street Maps servers were under heavy load the last time you tried.

the same thing happens for us as well. it's pretty often that large squares of the OpenStreet maps do not load when zooming in.

anyone else having this issue?

Hm, this problem does not occur on my side. Maybe it depends on time when the map is used.

Are you planning to introduce any paid model for using the Google Maps. We'd happily pay for the service. :-)

The problem is Google charges per request. But it is impossible to know how many viewers will track a user and how often they will scroll around on Google Maps. It would be definitively much too expensive. Therefore Google is no choice at the moment :-(.

I'm afraid that's not a allowed because Google might think I would like to abuse their system. They offer a free contingent per account. If there were 10 accounts for the same account, there would be 10 free contingents for the same domain. I guess that's not what they want. See more here:

I will think about if there is a way to provide Google in the future again. More information here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4003
