indeed does not include the ESRI plugin so it's a new addition. but
maybe you can try building the ESRI plugin with Qt 5.7.

i was able to build the ESRI plugin locally, here is how:

i have the official Qt 5.9.0 binary Mingw packages for Windows

- downloaded this 5.9.0 tree in a zip
https://github.com/qt/qtlocation/tree/5.9.0
- extracted it in a folder qtlocation-5.9.0
- cd qtlocation-5.9.0/src/plugins/geoservices/esri
- qmake
- make
this resulted in .dll and .a files created in:
qtlocation-5.9.0/plugins/geoservices

maybe i can try building the QGroundControl that Tomaz suggested,
although they have a notice in the Readme that QGroundControl does not
work with recent Qt.
