Since this is not a large “component”, I think my preferences goes to a single
{{map}} macro, with a “provider” parameter (provider=“google”, “openstreetmap”,
“apple”, etc) and possibly aliases such as {{googlemap}} {{openstreetmap}}
which would simply be shortcuts for {{map provider=“google”}} and {{map
provider=“openstreetmap”}}.
I think it would make it simpler from a user POV. I’d prefer to have one
recommended map macro that we try to support instead of a myriad of smaller map
macros that would not be recommended and at various levels of support.
WDYT?
Thanks
