Google Hybrid Maps no longer open source?

[stom_m3]

So I tried using MotionX with the Google Hybrid open source and the link no longer works. It must have just shut off within the last week because it was just working. Anyone else notice this issue?

That would suck, as it's probably one of the most useful features in MotionX (even though it's not really considered an "approved" use of the download function).

Isn't this how the world works now...Let us use something for while free, collect as much information about us as possible, then start charging to use it? Standard fare, nothings free.

I think has something to do with it. I don't really understand the lingo but it looks like they have tightened the licensing or something like that.

For a low volume user (25,000 requests a day) there's still a free account: https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/#details

HERE Maps, ThunderForest, MapBox and others also offer mapping services for free.

Yeah I noticed that all of my Google maps stopped working sometime in August. Has anyone figured out how to get Google Maps working in MotionX again?
