I have revived it for a test phase to see what Google will bill me.

calls to scripts hosted on his website. The details and snippets to be

About two days ago, this UI-Webserver feature stopped working when Google
changed the API (Application Programming Interface) for their map
servers. I
vaguely remember some warnings about this being imminent some months
ago.
The F5VAG page above seems to have last been updated several years ago,
and
doesn't reflect whatever changes will be required.

findu.com was briefly "broken" by this change, but seems now to working
again.

What do UI-Webserver users need to do now?
