Maps Disabled

I had to disable the Google maps. Google recently implemented a new pay schedule to access Google maps. Within less than a week, I had a bill of over $600 for using Google maps. Too rich for a free website, so the maps have been disabled until I can figure something out, or find another map alternative.

Maps are back up, slightly modified. You now need to specifically load the map, if needed. This is saving loading the maps unnecessarily, which is saving $$. I'm monitoring the map charges daily to keep them reasonable. If the charges start to get high again, I'll need to temporarily disable the maps again.

We are working on creating a programming interface to use "OpenMaps" rather than Google maps. OpenMaps are free to use.
