I think this, sadly, falls under the category of "collateral damage". The 1%<br>
of users who rely on Locus et al for mapping purposes are rather hit by the<br>
99% who just use it to download maps, hammering our tile servers.<br>
<br>
Ideally we would have dedicated smartphone mapping apps, for which we would<br>
happily permit tile/API access. No, I'm not volunteering to write one, but I<br>
have a suspicion we'll see at least one such app within the year. ;)<br>
