It would be nice if this leads to more interest in alternatives (OSM based systems including maplet).
Previously, when google made the initial shift in this direction a few years ago, it seemed like there was a brief period when more people were considering alternatives, but since most people were able to continue using the free tier this tapered off pretty quickly.
- SahAssar 9y ago> OSM based systems including maplet You mean leaflet.js?
- 0x0 9y agoLeaflet is a nice javascript library for slippy maps, but you still need to bring your own tileserver (OSM is not free to embed for anything beyond light usage I believe)
- SahAssar 9y agoYeah, I just had never heard of maplet, so I was unsure if that s/he really meant leaflet or maplet.
- resoluteteeth 9y agoOops. In the process of trying to decide whether to write leaflet or mapbox I confused the names.
- EQmapbox 9y agoI kind of love it :) Note - I work at Mapbox
