[Ovmsdev] Open Charge Map

[Lee Howard]

Could someone provide an update with respect to where the code is at 
with updating Open Charge Map?

I know that I've been saying this was on my near-proximity radar, but I 
wanted to let those who were more-familiar with OVMS do this... if they 
wanted to.

I've been keeping tabs on recent opinions regarding publishing charging 
locations, and privacy seems to be a substantial concern.  For the most 
part people don't want to see automatically-published charging locations 
for private residences or other private-access locations.  It is my 
understanding that while databases like Plugshare may welcome private 
residences others like OCM are deliberately trying to avoid inclusion of 
these for privacy reasons.

Therefore, it may not be wise to publish charging info automatically.  
Maybe the app could prompt the user each time a charge is completed with 
a simple "yes" or "no" prompt to publish (or not) the charging 
information to OCM.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Lee.
