You can still use it, but I can not provide support. Additionally you now need an API key to use Google Maps!</p> <p style="color:red; font-size:14px;">You have to create a Google Maps Account <a href="https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/" target="_blank">here</a> and provide billing information (it's still free for 28500 map calls per month). Then add the API key in your config.php with this config option: <code>define('BO_GMAP_PARAM', 'key=XXXXXXXXXX');</code> </p> <br> <br> <br> <img src="/Images/myblitzortung.png" alt="" title="mybo" style="padding: 10px;"> <img src="/Images/screenshots.jpg" alt="" title="mybo" style="float:right; padding: 10px;"> <p>MyBlitzortung is a web application for the members of <a href="http://www.blitzortung.org" target="_blank">Blitzortung.org</a>.
