Other Choices besides Google Maps

[wallyglenn]

Will you be making available an alternative to Google maps?

Also, how do I turn off Google Maps as an option in your calendar. I do not wish to click off for every single event.

I am not creating a Google API key. Google does not allow me to turn off maps before I am charged and I have been burned by them in the past and not interested in playing this game.

Hi Wally

We have considered a mapping alternative. If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

You can suggest it at https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/34778710-option-to-change-google-maps-to-other-maps-provide.

To be clear, Google requires a credit card now, but does not charge for use of the service. By adding a credit card requirement, they hope to stop abuse of their map system.

To disable Google maps, please try this snippet. Add this snippet to either your child theme’s functions.php file or use the My Custom Functions plugin. 

wp_deregister_script( 'tribe-gmaps' );

Let me know how this works for you.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
