I sure do like the way that the PQs section shows only the caches included in the PQ... that is a nice enhancement.
I was struck by the slowness immediately, and the fact that google was missing (which has been explained). Of the two, I care way more about the speed. Obviously many ideas have been mentioned to help with the complaints, and they are good suggestions.
I'm a really big OSM fan, and I think this has the potential to be really good for OSM, perhaps it will motivate more people to contribute. I know it doesn't help with the sat images, but hey... you can't see the trails on those!
Anyway, in terms of addressing the google issue, I wonder if Goundspeak might do the whole google maps things as an add on to your membership so that the folks who would like to have those maps back can be the ones to pay for it. That way the folks who don't care, don't have to pay and the ones who care can pay... if they care enough that is.
Just my 2 bits.
