Thank you for the feedback, guys!
@texnixe I could never get the Google Maps Kirbytag plugin to work - have tried installing it three or four times, but it can never load the API. I must be doing something wrong during the installation, but I can’t workout what - it’s just an exercise in frustration… The geolocation panel field is cute, but quirky. I need to have 2 locations in the same template, and it cannot handle that. If I try to put the locations in a structure field, the layout gets screwed up… And even if I can get it to work, there is still the problem that this only works in the Panel: it doesn’t help me add a map to my template…
Thank you for the link to Leaflet - looks very interesting! Can it do geocoding? - I cannot seem to find it anywhere in their docs. It seems it requires you to input lat+lng, which means we still have to rely on Google or another service to convert the address into coordinates… Shame, because I’d love to get away from Google.
@lukasbestle Indeed, I had a look at the new Google Maps Embed API, and it’s stupidly simple to just plonk a map in an iframe. Unfortunately, we need to have a api “key”.
Once again, thank you both for your useful hints and guidance.
