Would it be an option to select something like:
"I want my ushahidi instance to completely run open source and open data"
which gives people the possibility to follow their ideal? In that
case, geocoding through google and geonames would also need to be
turned off and replaced by nominatim?

In addition, I believe that the system uses Google to do geolocation of
addresses that are entered into the submit report form.

The only problem is a practical one Chris, that is that the OSM maps don't
have nearly as much detail as Google does in many locations globally. We're
neutral on this topic, just pragmatic, as you saw when we switched from
Google to OSM in Haiti.

hello, happy Christmas everyone,
to me, it makes sense to me to use an OSM baselayer as the default map for
several reasons:
- legal: keeps the default install free of licensing issues
- design: removes the google logo from the page
- UX: avoids the nagging API key error (which is always my first
experience upon installation)
- community: strengthens a partnership with OSM, some of our strongest and
most important friends IMO
thoughts?
Cheers
