Mapstraction - Feb 2008 - Problem rendering Yahoo! Maps via Mapstraction

I''m not sure if I''m doing something wrong or if
there''s bug in
Mapstraction (not seeing an error in Firebug, so I assume the former),  
but the Yahoo! Maps API returns blank tiles that read "We''re
sorry,
the data you have requested is unavailable." when I call it through  
Mapstraction.

The Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, OpenLayers, and FreeEarth APIs all  
swap out fine and I am able to put a standard Yahoo map on the page.  
If someone could take a look and point me in the right direction, it  
would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

A couple of things here:

 - When swapping map providers - you''re actually creating a new
Mapstraction object. Instead, just use the ''swap'' method. FYI
-
swapping map providers, while neat & useful, is sometimes fraught with
problems as it becomes very dependent on how they''re used about
reloading map tiles and the like.

 - With the Yahoo API, it looks like the markers from Flickr are all
getting dropped at (0,0). Not sure why that''s happening - Yahoo API
only supports the deprecated GeoRSS-W3C, but the Flickr feed has both
simple and W3C (also kind of  no-no), but one would assume the Flickr
(yahoo company) and YMaps should work.


By the way, nice demo.
