Remove Google Maps

Question

We recently updated to ZoneDirector version 10.3.0.0.362 and now have the Google Maps error on the dashboard "Google Maps is not working due to an API key problem. If this problem persists, you may need to add a valid API key." We don't want to buy a maps API key, and all our APs are in one location so it would be useless anyway.

We can click "Hide Map" but then it just comes back as soon as the browser is refreshed. Is there any way we can permanently remove this, as it takes up the majority of the space on the dashboard?

Thanks for any help

This would seem like a good lateral move. Some of our other networking monitoring systems use OpenStreetMap with good success. Of course, recoding such a change would probably be too much of an undertaking to satisfy a lower percentage of the customer base that it almost makes no sense.

I wonder if there could be a move to OpenStreetMaps. Many of the open source network management platforms have allowed this as an alternative to Google or Bing and it works well.

You don't need to buy an API key unless you're loading the map hundreds of times a day. Unless for me, it was super simple to get the API key. I believe also that if you don't reload the map page it's a single API call for the whole day
