Thanks a lot !!!!. Let this feature alive forever
;). It´s very
usefull to spare space ( instead of upload maps ) and can be included
in the MoS ( for mountains, rivers and so on).
Relying on a third-party proprietary service which may shut off access
at any time is not the best idea. This is why we've tossed around the
idea of running our own map server. Wouldn't really save space ;) but
would save time -- no need to generate, save, and upload thousands of
individual maps except where they really need additional editing work.
Long-term, yes. But for now, we can change the service if the one we're
using shuts down. We could also generate a list of map services for these
coordinates, like the ISBN links.
