Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Google Maps in Maverick

[Felix Ruess]

Hi Reto,

it really looks like Google slowly phased out this way to load tiles. It still worked here a week ago or so, now not anymore.
I guess we have to figure out the new URL and hopefully we will be able to just load tiles in the same way again.

So if anyone figures out the new URL, please let us know.

Cheers, Felix

Hi Felix,

thanks for your answer. In the mean time I tried it several times. It
never worked. I downgraded back to Ubuntu Lucid (fresh installation)
and it doesn't work either:

- When I launch the GCS at the standard location (near Toulouse,
France), I can download the high resolution Google Maps tiles. But
very slowly. Maybe three to four tiles per minute.

- When I launch the GCS at my home location (Switzerland), after a
long wait (maybe five minutes) I get a very low resolution background
picture. I get the following messages in Paparazzi Center:

At neither location I get the SRTM. I still cannot install Google Earth.

Pretty weird, as a couple of months ago everything worked just fine.
Does Google block me out?

Cheers, Reto
