    Maps: Region Selection

    Trying to do something a bit above my pay grade so need help.

    When the user selects an address, I want to call a maps API to get the region/neighborhood, for example downtown. Problem is these are custom regions that do not match with google maps or OSM. So two questions:

    1) How should I host a lighter maps instance that can make these custom regions? OSM might work, but I don't know how to set it up and get my custom data in.
    2) How do I properly integrate it into espo? Making a custom formula function that makes the call pre save works, but if I need any libraries how do I include them?
Working...
