Hello all,
Recently oc.pl received complains from Googlemaps for using their name and/or functions on other maps than Google satellite and Google Maps.
As OC colleague i like to inform you all that Google will revoke API access if these Google functions are not removed from non Google maps after some warnings from them via email.
On your main map look at leftbottom, there is the name "Google". This only allowed on Google maps. Not on any other map.
Please consider to remove these Google items from non Google maps.
GoogleMaps violation of the "terms of service"

Hi Harrie,
this issue by Google isn't new.
We just hoped, that we can use the map still we develop our new backend.
As well, we are close to the limit of the free useage.
So there must be a new map provider coming soon
maybe Leaflet or OSM

It is no problem that you use free google maps. Ihe problem with goole maps is that the word ,"Google" is used on non Google maps. Like on the left bottom of OCM map. Just remove the word Google from this map. Than it is no problem.

Hi Thomas,
That should be okay
If you or others planning to add the streetview function than you should do the same. Streetview is also a Google function.

@teiling88 : I think Harrie is thinking of our main website, not our testing website. Your changes are OK for the testing site, but the main site still shows the google logo even when you are *not* using google maps.
@harrieklomp : Do you agree with me ?

I did see it was on the test site, but it could also be implemented in the main site
