No google will only be free to x number of hits and only if it is public facing.

Open Street Maps is the way to go there is a thread here but I am not sure if it works still

Maybe here is better:

Can you control the language of OpenStreetMap locations?

Try SVG Map.

They are totally free in Dev & Prod. No limits to usage but it is a polygon map and you'd need State or Country Code to map it correctly.

It has Hoverover plus clickable popup.

Check this link.

Updated SVG Map files (US State Names)

Yes I agree the map is not Dynamic (pre loaded maps) but as we know countries or state not going to shift overnight and will stick to their places unless we have some major land disturbances

But I believe the values are dynamic (Measures) which is suppose will suffice the need to show?

It depends on user requirement. But I think Google Maps are not free in Prod. API needs to be purchased (at least that's what I heard).

haha, this is true, I read 'dynamic' as the ability to zoom in and drag around, which is only possible if you get really clever with layering your svg's and trust me, that becomes a nightmare!

Correct, as I stated above the google api is only free for a number of hits if the application is web facing.

I still maintain an OSM solution would be the best, but without knowing the exact requirements you are quite correct in suggesting the svg idea.

Yes, totally true.

Hi Adam

Public facing means ..... your QV server should not be fully covered with the firewall. For dynamic map QV server must be able to communicate with the google server to download map image based on lat n long values.

If QV server is compleatly behind the firewall it will not be able to communicate with google server.

Above what I understood while implementing G Map

I am afraid this is an incorrect interpretation.

Google quite clearly state that public facing means: Apps or websites that are free for anyone to use.

Which means your dashboard would need to be fully available to anyone over the internet

Further qualified by:

The Standard Plan can be used for free, external, and publicly available implementations. Your service must be freely and publicly accessible to end users.
