Use Appe Map url as generic camera?

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

Continuing the discussion from Reverse Geocode Sensor ("Places") using OpenStreetMap - custom component:

@Mariusthvdb

camera: - platform: generic name: Locatie still_image_url: > {{state_attr(‘sensor.places’,‘map_link’)}}

Hi, testing @tenly 's Custom component Places, please let me separate this. How can we have the Apple maps url show as a generic camera image in HA?

trying this:

  - platform: generic
    name: Locatie M places
    still_image_url: >
      {{state_attr('sensor.m_places','map_link')}}

yields an empty card:

If I enter the url in Apple maps it shows just fine, but in the generic camera image it wont load. I used to display the Google Maps image, I only today discovered that that now needs a key to display correctly (see https://www.home-assistant.io/cookbook/google_maps_card/) . or, at all.

Apple Maps don’t need that, as far as I know, but could it be the https:// is causing trouble? need we set the ssl option maybe ?
