Additional context
Using our public instance is completely free: there are no limits on the number of map views or requests. There’s no registration, no user database, no API keys, and no cookies. We aim to cover the running costs of our public instance through donations.
It would be great to adapt the credit to add them then.

The issue names no files or tests, so the relevant map entry point must first be identified.
