I just don't think they get it. @Yong – I’m commenting more than a year later than you, and Mapquest continues to fall farther and farther behind. I just don’t think they get it.

It allows you to stick with a specific version regardless of an update at Google. This helps manage changes. You can move to the next release when you're ready, instead of waking up and finding out your website has crashed because your map vendor has upgraded overnight. All excellant comments. Google seems to be catapulting ahead. Google SDK’s version control has me sold. It allows you to stick with a specific version regardless of an update at Google. This helps manage changes.

Especially in regards to the two "Drawbacks developing with a web mapping platform" bullet points, which you wouldn't have experienced if you were working with Google Maps. You don't have that problem with asynchronous movements in Google and, as another person posted, you must have missed the GPolygon api entry. In addition, the majority of your CONS in relation to VE are mostly not there with Google. I'd recommend that now that you know what you want, and you've had some experience with programming a web-based map solution, you re-evaluate Google again.

The Mapquest guys were open enough to listen over lunch and I gave them lots of feedback from the voice of the developer community. Although who knows if they can steer the ship in the right direction (remember, they're AOL now.)

That means that in order to implement DeCarta we would have needed to spend much more engineering time than for the VEs and Google Maps of the world.
