On the Dashboard and Activity Details pages users may now choose either Google or Bing for their map provider.
Now on Dashboard page.:D

Brilliant move (allowing the user to choose),
as I prefer bing maps (don't shoot on me) :)

Just need the choice on the Player now. Google certainly seem better in the UK.

Google Maps Option Defaults

Agree with NU52NTJ on need for Bing or Google maps option in player.

Also need to set defaults for Google map options, Terrain on/off, Bicycle on/off. Terrain Off, Bike On appears to be hard-wired defaults. If user defaults are too much work, I suggest Google defaults of Terrain On, Bicycle Off to better match Bing maps. My opinion is that the Google bicycle map option is best when looking for new routes or route options. From this perspective, it should normally be off.
