I am not suggesting removing the copyright notice. I have no problems with the more familiar "Powered by Google" note on the left bottom and the "Map data (c) 2011 Geocentre, yadda yadda - Terms of Use" on the right bottom.


I am asking for suppressing the new steel-blue box that pops up every time the map is panned, moved, zoomed, or otherwise made visible. This box says "Map Data (c) Geocentre, yadda yadda" and has a [close] button. This is new.
