Ask HN: YC W2020 Site Contains GoogleMap API?

4 points by richajak 6y ago ↗ HN

I was checking my YC W2020 status, however I found something interesting. Why did it load "Google Map"? I did not remember that there was a google map widget inside the application form. Did I miss out something? Feel free to check my screenshot below.

I think they are using Google Maps APIs without showing a map.

You can see the library included in the html file via view source and some custom code (search for google.maps) in
