I wrote a system that incorporates Google Maps.

It’s an open-source system that is used worldwide, by a few thousand loosely-organized nonprofits.

When Google Maps suddenly required associated credit cards, it caused a great deal of trouble. It still causes problems.

That’s because most of these entities are not 501(c)(3) orgs, with bank accounts and debit/credit cards. In fact, the organization enforces deliberate poverty, amongst its chapters.

Someone needs to add their personal card to the Google Maps API. Since the maintenance people are constantly rotating, this is an issue.

Also, the API has a dashboard like a Space Shuttle cockpit. Most regular schlubs have a difficult time with it.
