This section will describe each of these in more detail and when they are used. OpenLayers: Served from a local library file (lib/ol.js & lib/ol.css), provided by OpenLayers. We use this library when you set your block to use OpenLayers (default). You can find the source files on the OpenLayers GitHub. OpenStreetMap: When you select the OpenLayers engine, a default map tile server is used, which is provided by OpenStreetMap. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your map. They may also make use of MapBox for some of their assets. Google Maps API: If you decide to use Google Maps as your map engine, we will include the Google Maps API as a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your maps. In this case, admin map previews are still rendered by OpenLayers and OpenStreetMap. Nominatim (OpenStreetMap): If you perform an address search within the admin area, we will make use of the OpenStreetMap Nominatim to lookup locations and suggest addresses to you. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on for address searches.
