One module a user cannot choose is the Map which displays the CumulusUtils users with some basic info, notably the site name, address and latitude/longitude.

There are more users than you see on the map but they either did not choose to be on the map or they run Win 7 (which can not do the required HTTP transfer) or missed an upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.0 (on Linux, see release note on 6.6.0). In those cases please see the notes at the end of [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=17998 the release post]. | |||
