Hi, have you considered the possibility of implementing Leaflet.js? It has Open Street Map and other base maps, and It could add other possibilities.

;)

Thank you @jesusyesares
(for @mauteri, Jesús is THE map expert)

[mauteri]

I'm open to this! 😊

[jesusyesares]

Not so much, I was the map expert in a moment of the history. Now I'm only learning. But I have explored some map projects and leaflet it's the more flexible probably. Map Libre would be another option too.

@jesusyesares TBH, I had actually explored Leaflet and Mapbox as potential solutions when initially implementing the maps feature. My recollection for passing on it at the time was that it required some decision-making for settings that were beyond the core features of GatherPress at the time. Happy to revisit and implement if reasonable enough to do so.

@pbrocks let's discuss Friday, thx Paul!
