Performance Data and Blitzortung Vector Map Real-time

... We had a problem with a server today at 6:00 UTC. It will take some time until everything is up and running again. 
On map.blitzortung.org I had temporarily deactivate the satellite map for licensing reasons. The license has expired and the prices have been increased. ...  I'm looking for another solution.... 

Regards, 
Egon

 
](*,) "MapTiler" has laid on an outrageous yearly subscription fee... :shock: no excuse for this BS. Companies have gone nuts.
...although I note that, DESPITE the current mid-east situation, local gasoline went DOWN 30 cents a gal.... go figure.

Looks like it's $1500 per year. Crazy for a nonprofit.

However, lightningmaps.org seems to be working fine, and with the the map working.

Don't you think BT has >100 Monthly Active Users???  Naw... in the $5800 or contract range, I suspect.  Totally different auxiliary website... using Leaflet, a different mapping system all together.  Leaflet itself MAY be uncertain... not sure what the latest is, though there is a large group of maintainers... MapTiler powered those good satellite, and other imagery tiles ...
