The insane amount of backward compatibility in Google Maps
For years I refrained from doing a post like this because I feared (and still fear) that somebody at Google will notice what is going on and shut the old APIs down.<p>"What? server XYZ still works!? Mel was supposed to turn it off in 2010!"<p>The J2ME midlet has been very useful in the past years and I really don't want to lose it. (Ah, the pain and sorrow of relying on somebody else's service.)
