Not at this stage -- we're looking for consultants who can operate in Australia, Singapore and Canada and be face to face with clients. Occasionally remote opportunities do pop up though.

Sourced Group | AWS, GCP, Azure Consultants | Sydney & Melbourne Australia, Singapore, Toronto Canada | Full Time | Sponsorship available | https://www.sourcedgroup.com/

Sourced Group helps the largest security conscious clients in heavily regulated industries manage their Cloud infrastructure at scale.

Looking for Consultants at all levels for any or all major Cloud providers:

- AWS

- GCP

- Azure

We've recently taken $20M in investment and are growing rapidly globally but maintaining the culture and values that makes Sourced Group a great place to work.

I've done previous stints at other consultancies, as have many members of the team. We understand and agree on what made us leave and why we're determined for Sourced to be different and somewhere you'll love working.

Plenty of opportunities to travel, work with massive clients and solve real problems.

Multiple positions in each region.

[email protected] if you're interested.

I used to provide support on the Google Maps for Work API (any opinions are my own etc.)

My best guess is that because the site is offering very similar functionality to what is provided by the Google Maps API Drawing Tools [1] is the reason you've been flagged. The Elevation chart appears to be the same as the sample provided in the API documentation [2].

Yes, you offer additional functionality with the sharing of the routes and other features on the site. The flagging of sites for TOS violations can be a bit peculiar at times.

For reasons that I shouldn't get in to, I'd guess you won't much of a reply if you try and discuss this notice by replying via email. I'm not sure who the current Maps API Developer Relations contact is but they would be your best bet for any proper discussion.

I think the limit for Chrome is a bit higher - 6 or so resources from the same location will cause the stall. You can usually see this happening if you watch the "Resources" tab in Chrome Dev Tools and watch the timings for loading each resource.

I can't see it happening. Only recently they got partially integrated with maps.google.com in some cities.

You're right though, it would absolutely destroy the business, requiring them to redevelop their apps. Would be a huge service disruption.
