I just want to say that I am very satisfied with the OpenCycleMap mapping option. If overuse it is a concern I would gladly pay them a reasonable fee to use their service (the same goes for Plan-G itself, for that matter). Perhaps mapped licences is something that could be included in the settings, like allowing the user to enter some kind of key for a service?

The problem there is that what is "reasonable" to you and me, and what is "reasonable" to google are miles apart. There simply isn't a business model that can sustain google's fees (I spent a long time looking for one). The best we can hope for is that enough people use v3 that those that want to continue with v2 can do so and not hit Google's threshold.

Believe me, I'm as sad as anyone to lose the google terrain map.

I was actually talking about overuse of OpenCycleMap which you listed as a concern in a different thread. I definitely get your point about Google, though.

I also had mixed success with the scroll wheel. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I'm not really able to determine the transition point from one state to the other, though, it seems to be quite random.
