OpenStreetMap Tiles

Purpose: Displays the interactive visitor location map in your WordPress admin dashboard. When Used: Only when YOU (the admin) view the real-time visitor map. Not used on the frontend. Data Sent: Your browser makes direct requests to OpenStreetMap tile servers (standard HTTP headers only).
