Maybe another map vendor wants to add support to OVMS, so the user can choose OCM or PlugShare, or whatever. .... As an aside, PlugShare is already experimenting with adding the ability to add voltage/amperage info to their database via a special version of their web site that appears when the user agent is the Model S browser.
I am pleased that PlugShare easily accepts data contributions, but does it meet your own criteria listed an hour ago?... On 05/22/2014 02:49 PM, Tom Saxton wrote:
I'd like to make sure that whatever happens with OVMS reporting charging station information stays open and stand-alone, not tied exclusively to OCM.
I've read through the PlugShare "Terms of Use Agreement", and it seems very much opposed to the "open" philosophy espoused by OVMS (and OCM). Mind you, I have absolutely no objection to anyone developing-in an OVMS feature to contribute information to PlugShare and other databases besides OCM. I merely mean to point out and seek clarification for the apparent conflict in your positions. Thanks, Lee. -- *Lee Howard* *Mainpine, Inc.
