Yeah, I've got a "custom map" with them that I already have like 300 tags in.
Although, what do you mean by Geocodes? For us, I work at a company that uses the term as well, when we talk about geocoding it's when we take an address and turn it into GPS coordinates.
And for a company that runs a bunch of addresses through Google, that makes sense. But I was under the impression that the API used to display maps and then the pins on the maps is free. Vs querying the google database for GPS coordinates for addresses.
Obsidian portal uses their APIs but with maps that have been saved local to the Obsidian Portal site.
