The API looks indeed promising, especially since it enables world-wide voice
navigation that is only possible with monav currently. I skimmed the terms of
use, which look good (IANAL) except the following part:

"7.2. End User Terms. End users shall only be entitled to use the MapQuest
Services and MapQuest Content if they accept the then current end user Terms of
Use located at http://info.mapquest.com/terms-of-use/. MapQuest reserves the
right to amend and/or replace these terms and the form and manner of
presentation. You must provide a hypertext link at the bottom of each page in
your website or application where the MapQuest Services or MapQuest Content can
be viewed or accessed, or within the terms of use of your application or
website, to the end user terms of use."

If we were to implement that to the letter, we'd need to
- deactivate the plugin by default
- show a popup with terms of usage link and "[ ] I accept..." dialog when
activating it
- Link to the terms of use in the routing widget / routing activity
- Link to the terms of use in guidance mode / navigation activity

1-3 seem doable, though degrading the user experience. But 4 looks cumbersome
to me. Opinions?
