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
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:/
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.
