Re: [Paparazzi-devel] problem of getting google earth connection

[address@hidden]

Google does not allow people to use their map tiles in 3rd party software (i.e. 
paparazzi) and they have algorithms to detect such attempts.  Generally, you 
can get about 1 km^2 per day without triggering Google's system.  Once 
triggered, Google will ban your IP address from access to maps for a day or 
two, even through a web browser.

This is a frequent source of frustration for newcomers but since the tiles only 
need to be downloaded once, it is not such a problem for most users who fly at 
a select few fields.  The only solutions are to crack Google's algorithm or use 
the open source map tiles from Microsoft(!).  I'll buy a beer for whoever 
implements either solution (this beer thing seems to be a good motivator).

  it look like the connection problem, and I was wondering, does any one have
the same problem today?
