Did you think about change map provider? maybe Mapbox is less expensive than Google Maps

Yes. Or maybe we can change for OpenStreetMap 😃

@clem you're right OpenStreetMap is even better!

For your information, we were not really using GMaps API. It's just an image link to gmaps hand-written.

It's cool because it allows us to use another image (for example Christmast one for advent calendar).

It's not cool because it's obviously a pain to write 😬.

If OSM has some similar features, that would be awesome.

Well, this image link is part of the GMaps API. Look at the website. None of these images are working.
