GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 769372
Tries to use discontinued MapQuest tiles to show contact maps [fixed in libchamplain 0.12.14]
Last modified: 2017-07-29 14:21:43 UTC
As in Maps, we need to update Contacts to use a new map tile source.

Created attachment 332493 [details] [review] contacts-address-map: Use default map source (OSM MAPNIK) MapQuest is no longer available for free, switch to OpenStreetMap own tile server instead. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy

Their tile usage policy very clearly prohibits distributing an application that uses tiles from openstreetmap.org without prior permission from their system administrators. Did we get such permission? We also need to clearly display license attribution somehow, which is gonna clutter the UI. Seems easier to just remove the feature....
Also regarding "Valid User-Agent identifying application. Faking another app's User-Agent WILL get you blocked." What user agent is used?

Bummer, no we have not received a permission. We clearly display license attribution, it is overlayed the map, that feature is part of libchamplain. We could also just use the same tactic as with GNOME Maps and use the our Mapbox account here. But removing the feature seems fine as well. Who can make that call? Is it Eric?

That's preferable to removing features.
What's the argument against doing exactly the same as Maps (Mapbox via a proxy)? As a user, I don't want to see the feature removed when it seems there's already a good alternative.
I can confirm the issue. Gnome Maps works fine now. Why not patch gnome-contacts as well?
