Kagi adds lenses support for Lemmy

Nice. I like how they acknowledged lemmy users constantly using Kagi.
- As a Kbin guy and paying Kagi user I feel weirdly seen.
I know Kagi is generally well received, but I'd like to know what you all think about the maps implementation.
It looks like it uses Apple maps, which I don't like, but at least it's not google...
How do you all feel about it?
- It's not the best, and quite clearly not a priority of the project yet. I'd say map integration is a little bit worse than in DuckDuckGo, which is already not as good as Google. If this is important to you it's probably too early to jump on Kagi.
  On the positive side I didn't realize this before just now when checking it out in order to answer your question, so it hasn't bothered me much. Usually when I need address information I go straight to the service I see best fit.
  I'd love to see Kagi make an effort to push OSM though, but that's probably not exactly on top of their priorities.
  
  That's what I needed to know, thanks for your input. The map integration is very important to me, as I depend on it for work.
  I'll be keeping my eye on this project.
  ...information I go straight to the service I see best fit.
  What do you mean by that?
- I made a custom OSM search.
  
  Open street maps, right?
  That sounds cool. How difficult was it to implement, for the lesser-tech-savvy? lol
  Have you noticed any caveats?
