Macareux Google Map Attribute

This package introduces a "Google Map" attribute type, enabling location setting on various objects like pages, users, and express entries through a Google map interface. It simplifies the integration of Google Maps into Concrete CMS projects, leveraging Google Cloud Platform's APIs for location services. The attribute displays as a static map image, offering a straightforward way to incorporate map functionality without the need for extensive coding.
