Problem with MapQuest online routing
Solved
Hi:
I have Locus Pro 3.15.2 running on Android 5.1. When I try to do navigation routing using the MapQuest routing engine, it does not work and I get the error message: "MapQuest, Directions Forbidden" in an orange box. I am able to do routing with Yours and OSRM with no problem. The problem persists with Locus mounted on the external SD card or in the phone memory, and using vector maps or online maps. Is the problem with MapQuest or with Locus?
Many tanks for an excellent app!!
Bill

Dear users.
We are sorry for the troubles with MapQuest routing. There is some problem on the MapQuest side. We have already asked them for a urgent fix. We are still waiting for their solution.
Thank you for your understanding.

I think something went wrong with the api key because the analysis of the http traffic between Locus and mapquest when trying to route says:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Content-Type: text/plain
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 04:57:26 GMT
Server: Apigee Router
Content-Length: 322
Connection: keep-alive

We have now official response from MapQuest team:
According to our systems, your account is on the Plus plan; however, Ican see that the requests are failing for your key. We are working to resolve this with our partner.
Sorry, there is nothing, Locus team may do, except wait. Please change your routing provider in Settings > Navigation to any alternative source. In case of car navigation, we may suggest OSRM, for bike/hike gives very precise results Yours. Also consider try with possible offline routing. About this is more in our blog post here: http://www.locusmap.eu/locus-map-can-navigate-offline/

Thanks Menion, I switched over yesterday to OSRM and that worked.
I've just switched back to MapQuest now and that seems to be working again!

Their price policy is so stupid, that this will happen probably every month till we remove MapQuest routing completely. Sorry for it, we will try to solve it tomorrow.
