Bug description:
As of today, MapQuest has disabled their free map tile feed. This
means the Maps app no longer displays anything except a warning
pointing to
http://devblog.mapquest.com/2016/06/15/modernization-of-mapquest-
results-in-changes-to-open-tile-access/
Screenshot attached.
[Impact]
GNOME Maps is included by default in Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 and 16.04. The app currently is useless.
Triaged as "High" because it "prevents the application or any
dependencies from functioning correctly at all".
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance
This also breaks libchamplain (a library for embedding maps into your
app). Once a fix is released, apps using libchamplain will likely need
to be patched to use a different map provider.
[Test Case]
Install gnome-maps. Open the Maps app. Do you see maps?
Note that maps are cached so you may not notice the feed has been
disabled unless you try viewing a specific area at a close enough zoom
that you have not viewed recently.
[Regression Potential]
Upstream changes to switch to Mapbox has potential to break unrelated features.
