Thread:Extension talk:Maps/Google Maps without the API

Hey Jeroen,

I've been using Semantic Maps without issue for the past few months, however, I've noticed some strange behavior, especially now that I've tried to replicate it on another server.

During initial installation I inserted a Yahoo! Maps API to localsettings.php but not a Google Maps API, yet somehow I'm getting a Google Maps output. How is this possible? Is there a Google API hidden somewhere in the code? Furthermore, changing the mappingservice parameter doesn't affect the map, it's always Google! (though changing the default parser function works fine)

So, I eventually just accepted the first phenomenon, but now I have another problem. When I copied the application to a new server, Google suddenly complained about the API. This would normally make sense, but why does it care all of a sudden? Another strange thing is that Yahoo! is not complaining at all! It works fine with the same API. To make matters more interesting, when I view my wiki with the Opera browser, Google stops complaining and shows the map! What's going on??

I'm running: MW 1.15.1 ; SMW 1.5.1.1 ; Maps/Semantic Maps 0.6.5 ; Validator 0.3.5
