I feel like we should have a map extension
This could be an Apple Maps API to use for stuff like weather radar simulators and more but this needs to be discussed

I feel like we should have a map extension
In theory they could add an openstreetmap extension since OSM is free. The problems I could think of are that a project could maybe get a user's location, like if it asked then stored it in a cloud variable. Also, it would be challenging (but definitely not impossible!) to create blocks that are easy to use while still letting users do interesting stuff. Overall this could lead to a lot of interesting projects!

No it would be to display places without user location but user location could be added in the future

There was a Map Scratch extension. It got taken down, Most old archived problems are broken because the map extension was removed. They were testing it in project id overridden 2-103
