You do sort of imply that the compatibility mode will continue to work: (from the upgrade guide): + Version 2 of the Maps API is designed to be 99% backwards-compatible with the + previous version of the API. This change breaks that compatibility. While I agree that it makes sense to have upgraded by now, the document implies that you don't have to (and you didn't have to before this issue happened). -- Larry > > I agree with Andrew that we should have warned developers about this change, > and I would have if I'd realized the effect, but now that it's happened > anyway, I'm not convinced that we should revert it.
