Perhaps not hasty, but it's been a surprise - and not a good one - that it came now. It may well be that it was announced that the switchover would occur around this date some time ago, but I've missed it. I suspect that others in the same position I am - developing products and services based on the Javascript API feel a little shell- shocked with the announcement, and the (again, apparent) lack of warning or timeline. I've started a project to be completed in a couple of weeks that could use the v3 API, and probably would have had we know it was going to be official by the time we hit our go-live date. Now it feels rather like we've invested several man-months of effort on something that's going to have be largely rewritten, and it's not a good feeling at all. Thanks for letting me vent my spleen a bit. Herb. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
