Open Street Map (Map Integration)

The Open Street Map widget lets you display property listings on an interactive map powered by OpenStreetMap. It's a free and open-source alternative to Google Maps or Mapbox and is useful when you want to avoid API-related costs or restrictions. This widget helps users visually explore properties by location with filtering options.
