I am sorry that it stopped working reliably. but independently of this, it's 
not supposed to be used in an automated manner like this.
Tiles are fetched and dynamically stitched together on each call, making this 
quite an expensive transaction compared to just fetching a few tiles (and doing 
the stitching yourself, or showing it in a small local openlayers).

I don't encourage people to use MapOf this way. On the same note, will the 
wikimedia plugin fetch a MapOf pic for every site view, or does it the fetching 
once in a while and caches that then?
