However, the original problem is the same, be it Merkaartor or a "third-party". If the OSM services can disappear in a snap, it's no real fun for me to develop support for it nor for the end-users to be confronted to an non-working functionality... But If everyone agrees that an announcement of ~3 months should be foresee before a service termination (time to fix and deploy a new version, and some time for the new version to propagate), it's OK for me. - Chris - - Chris -
