I posted the following on MHF but I am also trying it here in case anyone missed or cannot see it there.
We use campingcars-info.com a lot, including via our mobile phone.
Recently via our Android Samsung Galaxy S5 we have been able to access the website but after calling up the map it has slowly but surely been overlaid by multiple small notices which read
"MapQuest Deveolper. Since 11th July ..." and I cannot read the rest
We can still access the website normally by the laptop and WiFi in the office.
We can also access the website when we use the Android mobile as a tether via our telephone network, with the WiFi turned off.
Can anybody explain why the mobile access alone is connecting to the website, and continues to show 'connected', but the maps are blocked, and any fix?
Geoff

I can only assume that CC infos use the free mapquest for their android app and it went through some revamp or other on 11 July and the app needs updating or the CC Infos people have not updated their site I dunno. Its a bit of an educated guess but you may get some answers on the CC infos forum. forum.campingcar-infos.com/viewforum.php?f=16&sid=506309c967b70fbb324234554b8a1481Thats the app / tech section. Dunno how good your french is but you can always use google translate.

Barry I tried to register on their forum, in English option, to post my query, but it would not accept my e-mail address, but no explanation why not. Geoff

Hmm. Dunno Geoff. I could post on you behalf but as I dont have the app and its all very technical it could get messy. Have you trawled through the section I linked to to see if there is any reference to this problem?

Barry I have solved the problem. I deleted my version and had difficulty to find a download from their own site, but found it on Google Play. It seems to be an updated version and may need a bit of getting used to. One does not select the country and then region as before, but can just scroll across the whole of Europe, but the map is very twitchy, and when scrolling, Aires in regions one is 'passing' in the scroll often pop up. I have not tried to find whether the same version comes up via WiFi or tether - will play around later. Not quite turn it off and on again but close EDIT Just tried via our WiFi and tethered on phone network and both operate like the old version - maybe my URL memory has stored the old website? Geoff

Probably I was right then. The update was 11th of July and your app needed updating. £99.99.
