Introduction
This Leaflet Library style of map is free and does not need an API Key. It can be used in conjunction with the Geocoding and Mapping features to present the plugin map pane and produce webpage map files that do not disclose the current Geocoder API Key. Only one map file needs to be updated for all files to be modified.
