We have removed web based mapping on our site from Google. Due to upcoming changes at Google starting March 1st, 2025, less free map loads will be allowed for a site. Rather than allowing 28,500 free map loads per month for dynamic mapping, only 10,000 free map loads will be allowed for a site. Previously, we have usually been approved by Google for extra free credits for two months at a time, only not being approved on one occasion. I don't want to go through that each year during a busy month. Some areas of the site will display an error instead of web based mapping from Google.
I hope to have a new mapping system for 2026. You can still download a model file on our site to be viewed in the free program Google Earth.
