Thanks. Eventually, I will get to it, and I could have already done it 
before releasing 0.8.0, but my primary concern has been making the 
plugin work properly for your current location. So this release might 
seem a bit hurried, the basic features are usable but there will be 
issues like the one you encountered.

What's more, you have to spend quite some time finding a good, free and 
reliable service with an appropriate license and then spend more time 
implementing the feature. Then you add it, and maybe something else 
breaks. On its own, it may seem simple, but together with the other 
tasks on the todo list and the bugs popping up now and then which might 
even require debugging this can quickly fill your day.

So for the next release, there will only be critical and trivial fixes, 
cleanup and maintenance work, stuff concerning package maintainers and 
translators. New features and more complicated fixes will have to wait 
for later.

Patches are always welcome, especially for things on the todo list. Just 
add them to the bug tracker.
