# Core API:

# Authentication system, token/tile cache (foreca_map_api.py).

# Interface:

# Layer selection menu and basic viewer with timeline (foreca_map_menu.py, foreca_map_viewer.py).

# Integration:

# Menu item in the main plugin, configuration reading from file.

# Features:

# Download and merge 3x3 tile grids, overlay on existing background maps (temp_map.png, europa.png, etc.).

# Trial Limitations:

# The code is compatible with the trial plan limit: 1,000 tiles/day for maps.

# The cache I implemented helps avoid exceeding this limit by reusing already downloaded tiles.

# Language Translation:

# Implementation of GetText translation and Google AI API

# major fix
