Beginning June 11, no more free API key for Google Maps (now Google Maps Platform) if you don't provide a credit card.

A lot of custom Google maps that have been created over the years will likely no longer work.

@sigon Do you have an idea how embedding maps in general will be possible without the explicit consent of a user after 25th of may? #GDPR

@dosch
not an expert on GDPR, but why we should need user consent on a web map?.

@sigon
Because you are sharing personal information of your visitors (ip address) with a 3rd party without their consent

I am breaking my mind on how to fix this...
