Next to my automations, cameras, other cards I now suddenly have a small, square map card. This appeared around the time when I played around with the recent lightning tracker integration.
Does anyone know how to prevent this map from appearing?

Have you tried editing your lovelace config and deleting it?
Screen shot would be nice
I am not using a specific Lovelace config, it’s built by the system.
Ah… so the lovelace is being auto-generated.
You should be able to hit the menu (3 dots) in the upper right, hit “config UI”, and then you should be able to delete the map card.
Sadly, I can’t do that because I want the system to auto-generate my Lovelace interface. I just do not want the map, which seems relatively pointless.
Hmmm… I’m at a loss then. I dont use the auto- generated view.
The only thing I can think of is make sure you’ve gotten rid of all integrations and sensors associated with that map (wwlln, etc.) and then reboot. Hopefully if there’s no sensors and such, it’ll just go away.
you’ll have to make a decision one way or another. you can’t have it both ways…
The entire point of using the (descriptively named) “auto-generated” UI is to generate a frontend so you don’t have to.
if you don’t like it the way the front end auto generates then you don’t really have any options other than to do it yourself.
But that’s not entirely true, because this map was not always present in my auto-generated UI. So the question becomes, what component is instantiating this map?
I don’t know of a way to tell what the system is using for the frontend cards it’s displaying without the user taking control.
Are you sure you removed everything that you’ve been “playing around with”? That would be the most likely thing to start out with.
You might be able to go into the .storage folders and try to figure out where the auto-generated code is located in there and it might tell you what the card/entity that element is based on.
I don’t use the auto-generated ui or even the GUI editor (yaml mode here) so I can’t really help in that respect.
You’ve added a geolocation entity like the wwlln sensor… it will display lightning strikes on a map… or any other geo location entity (like rural fire feed in NSW Australia for example). If you don’t want it then don’t enable geo-location entities OR take control of lovelace yourself.
There is the answer, you installed it!
For future generations: True, I installed it, but it’s (apparently?) both a GUI integration and a CLI integration. To ditch the map, I had to 1) clear out the code in configuration.yaml AND turn off the Integration in the user interface, which I had not explicitly turned on but there we go.
