rinigus, thank you for the awesome application! I am new to SFOS and Pure Maps was a really pleasant discovery.

As a newcomer, I am still struggling to get my head around the API key requirements. Could you please clarify:

1. Why does the app still work without the MapBox API key despite the warning in OpenRepos?
2. What exactly does the Foursquare key do?
3. Same for Here Maps key
4. And the MapQuest..
5. Which key (if any) enables the full address search with a building number?

It would be great if the UI somehow mentioned the capabilities enabled by these keys - e.g. if the Foursquare key is needed for the ratings / POI search and so on.


The keys are a bit of a pain to obtain on the SFOS device: the standard Browser app doesn't work well on the Foursquare and Here Maps developer sites (you can't copy the keys) while Angelfish doesn't interface with the system buffer. I found myself using Firefox in chroot to get the keys inside a text note so that I can copy them back into Pure Maps..
