Nobody really knows - probably even Google. And predictions have a habit of being wrong, but here's mine:
As the deadline draws near Google will look at the usage of the v2 javascript api, and make a decision on how much it still used. If small, it will just be turned off. A tear might be shed, who knows... If medium (and the most likely outcome in my opinion), Google will serve a 'interconnector' to v2 users. This will use v3 (or v4) under the hood, but expose a basic V2 compatible interface. Simple applications will still continue to work - and many wont notice the difference. But advanced applications (using some of the lesser used features, or undocumented behaviour) will start failing. If large, then they may just continue to leave it running in its depreciated state. Still no further development. (they haven't really been updating - except for critical bugs, v2 pretty much since its depreciation) On 27 February 2011 04:49, Jim O <joleary.pub...@gmail.com> wrote: > I understand from Google's deprecation policy that it continues to > serve Google Maps API v2 for about three years after May 19, 2010. > However, what happens after that?
