Google Maps API pricing got you down? You can use alternatives like OpenStreetMaps, MapBox, Bing Maps, Thunderforest or HERE maps.

What’s more WorkScout supprorts also location autocomplete feature powered by OpenStreetMap which means that you don’t need to use Google API even for this.  It’s exclusive to WorkScout – not found in other job board themes!  We took care to develop it with best UX/UI practices and it works as good as Google’s autocomplete.

An example of map and location autocomplete field powered by OpenStreetMap:

Please note that OpenStreetMap location address suggestions work only on “type and hit enter”.  OpenStreetMap usage policy doesn’t allow generating address propositions on each key press (like Google does).  That would generate too many requests per second and could overload their servers. Technically it’s possible but OSM foundation shares their api for free so we wanted to respect their usage policy.
