About Esri Maps and OpenStreetMaps
ArcGIS is a family of client, server and online geographic information system software developed and maintained by Esri. You can check it out on Esri. The extension uses Leaflet.js and Turf.js for calculating the area of the maps besides providing a good user interface. OpenStreetMaps service is used to search for a location and get its coordinates without requiring any api key or pricing.
Features

ArcGIS is changing their pricing subscription at the end of September, how will that affect your extension?
Please explain this comment "No API key needed for less usage" my source indicates a 'free' usage of 2M map tiles then $0.15 per 1,000 tiles probably per account. Does a user of your extension have to sign up for an ArcGIS account? Is the tile limit per account?
When using satellite map tiles ( Aerial in Map component) in USA at zoom of up to about 21 work fine but higher map tiles are not usable in most locations (EU etc.) at zoom levels above about 13 or so in the OSM maps. What is the maximum satellite zoom available with your EsriMaps extension everywhere.
For this version no API key is needed as it serves maps using esri leaflet library which doesn't require an api key. As I mentioned earlier the extension uses leaflet js for serving esri maps... also no api key is needed for that as it offers a generous usage so no api key needed
Changelog Version 1.1
You can now directly search for a location name and get its map displayed automatically without using a third party service
Added new blocks, see the documentation above
Feature uses OpenStreetMap service and doesn't require any api key
Just a gentle request to all the mods and the powerusers... I would be happy if you could test the apk and post your feedbacks
They will definitely help in improving the project
Thanks in advance
Edit: Apk updated for version 1.1 along with the download link for extension
I don't know why but this extension hasn't generated much craze despite being so useful. So I request everyone to share your feedback on the pricing etc
