Please Groundspeak reconsider your decision.
API access for GSAK does not devalue Adventure Labs in any way - on the contrary.
Adventure Labs offer a wonderful opportunity for sightseeing, especially for visitors of other places or cities.
With the possibility to upload the stations to a GPS (please keep in mind: it all started with GPS ! Mobile phones are a nice extension, but there are still many cachers who use GPS devices) you are fulfilling a wish of many geocachers worldwide.
Thank you in advance.
