Firstly, go ahead with whatever you enjoy doing for viking (thanks again
for your
work on viking so far).

Secondly, I will be more than willing to commit any alternative solution
to google.

Thirdly, I think we should not step back further. We will give up all
google map tiles
downloading. But we should draw a line there.

Google will have to face up their "Do No Evil" motto sooner or later. And if
viking has to be the cause, be it (We can always start a new project,
google can't
start another google).
