For example, my house cannot be located on the normal map and needs the satellite view. Some of the paths we follow also need the satellite view to find them. My use is to track routes horse riding and the mobile version is useful (but not the best) - I track distance and height gain, and the latter no longer works for me. My main use is the desktop version. Sadly, my thoughts are to switch to using one of the equestrian apps and foregoing the ability to draw and manage on the desktop. I will stick it out a little longer so see if functionality is restored as I want to continue using Mapometer if I can.
Hi Harry,
Its unfortunate, but since we now have to pay for all of our map tiles, we've had to add this restriction. Some of the types of maps are more expensive than others - particularly the satellite imagery.
We just can't afford to have high numbers of satellite map loads from people who are using the site for free.
Unless I can find a much cheaper source for satellite imagery, this functionality won't be returning for non-subscribing users.
Is £8 per year really a too much to pay for a service you like using?
