# A note on maps
Previously, the dump1090 webmap used Google's map API. As of July 2016, Google's policy on keyless use of their
API has changed and it's no longer practical to use that API. To avoid having a completely nonfunctional
map on new installs that have not been grandfathered, dump1090 now uses the OpenLayers map API.
This means:
* The default view now uses OpenStreetMap tiles;
* Google's maps are not available even with an API key (Google does not allow use of their imagery via
third-party APIs such as OpenLayers);
* There are a couple of new layers - Bing and Mapzen - that can be enabled by providing an API key
in config.js. See the comments in config.js for details.
