<h4>References</h4>
We make use of a various libraries and 3rd party service providers in order to render maps in your preferred mapping engine. This section will describe each of these in more detail and when they are used.
<ul>
<li>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 <a href="https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenLayers GitHub</a>.</li>
<li>OpenStreetMap: When you select the OpenLayers engine, a default map tile server is used, which is provided by <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap</a>. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your map. They may also make use of <a href="https://www.mapbox.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">MapBox</a> for some of their assets.</li>
<li>Google Maps API: If you decide to use <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Maps</a> 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.</li>
<li>Nominatim (OpenStreetMap): If you perform an address search within the admin area, we will make use of the <a href="https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap Nominatim</a> to lookup locations and suggest addresses to you. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on for address searches.</li>
