Hi all,
It looks like APRS.FI will get a free share of Google maps etc when all this
kicks in ..
Again I would like to thank the ZL operator and Branches who did respond to
this request.
Thank you all ..

Several hams working for Google have contacted me and supported aprs.if's
case as an "in public interest" service. One of them has already been in
contact with the relevant people within the Maps team, and it seems highly
likely that aprs.if will be whitelisted and get a larger free map loads
quota once the enforcement infrastructure is published.
I've also received several good testimonials about aprs.if and APRS use
in SAR and other public service work. Those will be useful in making sure
the above happens.
I think we can stop worrying now.
Thank you, guys at Google, your help is invaluable!
Also, thank you, everyone who expressed their support, and especially
those who sent in testimonials.
