[digiKam-users] Digikam Map Feature to use with Google Maps

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Please follow the story from this bug report :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433732

... and enjoy the new Google policy about money...

This situation cannot be solved by developers. the only long term
alternative is open street map to support geolocation. We also take a look
to BingMap if the API and policy are suitable and compatible with open
source.

Best

Gilles Caulier
