Goodbye, Google Maps; Hello, OpenStreetMap!

We want to make it easier to build more for free, automatically unlock greater volume discounts, and more easily find the capabilities that are right for your business[*], said the Google, and continued, These changes may result in a change in the monthly bill for certain customers, depending on their usage patterns.[*]

Oh well, can't be too bad. I wonder if my bill will change. Let's look at the billing report in Google Cloud Console and see how my costs have changed...

Oh.

God damn it.

In absolute terms it was just $55, so no big deal - but I'm not paying $55 a month to have maps on this blog. Google Maps had to go. I started off by just turning them off, then I found Leaflet, which has turned out to be an excellent almost drop-in replacement. Plus, I get a nice Ukranian flag at the bottom-right.
