Yahoo Maps support

Please oh please could you add Yahoo maps in addition to Google maps?

One of the main reasons is that I find that Yahoo does actually better coverage, also I think they can be enabled by default without having to use an individual key pair.

Re: Yahoo Maps support

Hi,

As you can imagine its challenging to make a living as an open source developer. I'm still trying to find ways to generate enough revenue to keep myself working on mojoPortal full time. If funding was not an issue then I could work on whatever I want but for now I have to be very strategic on where I spend my energy. So at the current time its not very attractive for me to put more energy into developing another version of a feature we already have like maps. It would be nice to support Yahoo maps as well as Microsoft but at the present time its not a priority for me unless I get a customer who wants to pay for development of those features.

Best,

Joe

Joe,

Appologies if I came across as a whining free loader .  I completely appreciate that you have to pick and choos what and when you do things.  I suppose I would like to add it to a whishlist if possible

So far I am very happy with everything that I have seen (even learned a little bit about postgresql), so if I get a chance I'll try and look at the feature and see if I can contribute a Yahoo module

Thanks again

Re: Yahoo Maps support

No worries, I did not perceive you as whining. Just wanted to explain why I can't do this myself anytime soon. If you want to implement it and contribute that would be great!

Cheers,

Joe
