My pick is to use Google Maps and accept that access to the maps when offline isn't supported. Obviously that only makes sense if Subsurface suppresses the viewport update to prevent the software from hanging or producing error messages. The reason I lean towards Google maps is that I like to see the reefs using satellite images, and thus I'm already looking at Google to help set the dive location (if I don't have the exact GPS coordinates). Actually sometimes I still use Google maps because I may have the coordinates in sexagesimal degrees coordinates and its easier to type in coordinates in decimal and google is an easy source for that translation. Caveat - I suggest this as someone who isn't a developer, so I'm largely ignoring the complexities of Qt support vs custom API. ...Hartley
