How many times a mashup has been ripped. How many times a block has been included in a mashup. How many times a block has been ripped. Excluding the author's own activity, of course.

      • Hi, My company has been buying MWS transactions for the last year and a half. We switched some of our maps over to VE (perhaps prematurely) and we're worried that as we increase volume we may hit the 5000 per day limit. This would be devastating as it's not so easy to determine when we hit the 5000 limit (to trigger a revert to the old MWS maps). That said, our MWS transaction provid

The one thing I have noticed is that when I zoom in and out a PushPin remains drawn at all times, but the VEShape seems to flicker (it looks like it is removed from the map and re-added). This visual effect is not very desirable and looks a bit odd in my appli
