Remove Google Maps and add OpenStreetMap to Contact page
The whole point of switching to Tutanota is to free ourselves from Google's grip.
However, in your contact page (https://tutanota.de/contact), you use Google Maps for localization, which can be a privacy concern for your users. I recommend deploying an OpenStreetMap slippy map. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map for more information.

Absolutely legitimate and excellent comment! I support it! The Google and other "mainstream" big companies and coorporations have nothing to do with the Tutanota! :)

Nicolas: be careful when you surround links with formatting characters, some url auto-parsers will take the latter formatting character and add it to the url as is done with you link:

Please remove all google apps from tutanota! One reason I am using your service is to be secure against google and its databases.

Anything that disassociates end users from Google is a good thing. I'd rather have a poorer quality map than be tracked by Google.

Yes, very good suggestion. openstreetmap.org is excellent and seems much more in the spirit of tutanota.

Alex, OSM's coverage of Germany is excellent, and Europe in general is excellent too.

Good ideia, despite it doesn't have the a really good database yet when you think the whole world. They must think of an attractive service for everyone abroad, and unfortunatelly, google is the better yet.

be careful with links surrounded in parenthesis:
you linked the following: https://tutanota.de/contact),
but you meant: https://tutanota.de/contact
do it like this for clarity: ( https://tutanota.de/contact )
