When I first wrote the map in 2012 I initially started writing it in Leaflet with OSM, but switched to GM since it was easier.
Perhaps I should just finish what I started and do it in Leaflet! :D

It's funny that they accidentally use the URL of another site they've flagged in the link! :D
I've not seen issues like this before, since our usage is pretty low-volume. It seems like it would be a pain for users to have to get a business license from Google just to see a vaguely useful map on the dashboard!
Perhaps we should switch to OpenStreetMap?

Hi all
We've been contacted out of the blue by Google stating that we are breaching their licensing because of the maps used in Observium;
--- email from Google --- Hi Greg,
I hope you've been having a great week so far.
My name is Belle, and I work for Google Maps team based in Sydney. We have an internal compliance team that conducts regular checks for domains registering Google Maps usage that potentially violates our Terms of Service.
The domain xxxxxxx.summitinternet.com.au has been flagged because it does not appear to be a publicly available website. Under our Terms of Service, Google Map API is not to be used behind firewall or with fees without a Maps for Work license. Such use case includes internal, OEM, and asset tracking implementations. Please find more information here .
We highly appreciate your support for our solutions and I thought I'd reach out to you to understand a little more about how you are using Maps before the compliance team starts blocking the usage from the domains.
It would be great if we could discuss in regards to this matter over the phone or if you could direct me to the right person who looks after such domains? Please advise the best contact number and time for me to reach out, your time is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Belle Wipada Swetkamol| *Google* Maps for Work | bwipada@google.com | +61 2 9566 6661
Has anyone else experienced this??? Any way to get Observium to use another mapping source?
I figure it's going to be a suck it up and pay Google affair.
Thoughts?
Greg
