Fucking google maps JS api. One should think that a company as large as google should be capable of providing a reliable api. But this fucking api just decided for the second time in two weeks just to stop working.

After the api failed for the first time i found out that the provided url actually fetches the experimental version of the api (yes you read that correctly a fucking unstable version is the default version). To get the stable version of the api one has to add v=3 to the request. But even after adding the version the api just broke again today!

Fuck it! Google get your shit together!

Just thinking about switching to OSM...

    No, but had just a look at it. Do you have any experience with it?

    YouTube API is pretty fucked up too. Yeah just put this 5MB pile of scripts on your web and it will work....why not.

    @aul12 not really. I implemented it using JS last week. Sounds promising to me. I've added it to my weekend learning session though.

    OSM is the best thing I've used.
