# Current issue with MapQuest basemaps

 * On Monday, July 11, 2016, the direct tile access to MapQuest legacy maps was 
   discontinued. After Monday, July 11, 2016, MapQuest requires those using their
   direct tiles access to sign up for a plan on the Developer Network (FYI: they
   offers a free plan with 15,000 monthly transactions). See full announcement at
   [http://devblog.mapquest.com/2016/06/15/modernization-of-mapquest-results-in-changes-to-open-tile-access/](http://devblog.mapquest.com/2016/06/15/modernization-of-mapquest-results-in-changes-to-open-tile-access/)
   for more details.
 * This change also affects Leaflet Maps Marker respectively Maps Marker Pro: as
   a result, maps using “MapQuest (OSM)” or “MapQuest (Aerial)” as basemap are currently
   broken.
 * We are already working on new releases (Leaflet Maps Marker v3.11 respectively
   Maps Marker Pro v2.8) which allow you to use your MapQuest API key if you want
   to continue using their basemaps.
 * In the meantime, please change the basemap of the affected maps to another tile
   provider like OpenStreetMap – this can be done via the Tools section for all 
   maps at once for example.
 * We hope that the new releases (which will also include support for multiple-geocoding
   providers and keyless access which will actually be the highlight of the new 
   releases) will by available by end of July & ask for your patience here – a hotfix
   as we usually provide is not possible in this case, as the MapQuest change is
   too complex for a hotfix.
 * Thanks for your understanding!

 * Just a short update & apology for the delay: we are still working on the new 
   releases which will be available soon & which took longer than planned, as exciting
   new features will also be added (support for alternative geocoding providers 
   for example which will work without any additional registration)

 * I’ve removed the stick from it for you, but you can do it your self (we’ve tested.
 * To do so hover over the initial post in a topic and near the bottom of the post
   there will be a toolbar line of links that you can use for actions like stickying
   a topic.
