[OSM-talk] Geocaching.com moved to OSM (partly)

[Michael Krämer]

Yet another move from Google Maps to OSM:

With yesterday's update of the geocaching.com website GM has been
replaced by OSM at least for some of the maps.

>From the release notes ([1]):
> • Removed Google Map API from user routes (CAaR) and replaced with Leaflet/open-map
> • Removed Google Map API from Trackables maps and replaced with Leaflet/open-map

Additionally the upper, static map in a cache listing is now based on
leaflet while the second map a bit further down is still GM. (Note:
These maps are only visible when logged in as a user).

A nice side effect could be to further promote OSM within the
geocaching community. Potentially this should bring in addtional
mappers as the entrance hurdle for geocachers should not be too high:
They have GPS units, go outdoors and are typically technically rather
savy...
