Mapstraction as a library to access Google maps

Question

Do you suggest Mapstraction (library) as a layer to access Google maps?

Is it an actively maintained project? Do I stand to again/ lose anything by using this library apart from the primary reason that its provider independent?

Answer 1

Have used this for a pretty major product, easy to use and extend. Well recommended so that mapping product can be swapped out in the future if needs be.

Cheers,

Rob
