Google Maps API can be rather costly if you’re using it for directions, pins, and distance calculations, especially if your usage relies on mapping many items frequently.
WeWeb has a native Maps component but appears to only work with the Google Maps API.
What would it take to get a Mapbox or other alternative added? Mapbox is awesome and seemingly a cost savings comparably. Maps | Mapbox
It already exists. Check the extensions.
A cheaper solution check out Open Street Maps (not a native weweb option, but easy to work with)
The secret to save money with google apis is to use sessions.
Incredible!
Can we display routes somehow? I’ve been trying to figure out how I can show what a driving route might be between two points.
Let’s say you have 5 addresses for a given day you’re planning to travel between, in an order. Can we use the Mapbox extension to display the pins for that day with a visual route indicator between them?
What do you mean?
They bill you per session, not per API hit
