I have to say one of the things I will miss most about the free services of topozone is the ability to provide a link to a particular location's map. With trails.com having a fee-for-service model, the only alternative is to download a map, put it on my website server as an <img> file and then link to that file.
That is both an unnecessary pain and creates a maintenance headache for me, especially for maps of limited-time-duration use. Now I'll have to remember which ones are "permanent" and which are "temporary" and apply some aging logic so I clean out the temporary files periodically.
Oh, well, at least hostmonster.com has upped the storage provided with their web server packages, so I can store a bunch of maps whether or not they are actively linked or just something I wanted to show someone in an email conversation.
