Chart Server dependency #2311

Open rainwoodman opened 10 months ago

rainwoodman commented 10 months ago

Google chart server has been deprecated in 2012, and the notification for turning it down was in 2019:

https://groups.google.com/g/google-chart-api/c/rZtHTyYgyXI

The servers can be gone at any moment at this point.

These cartopy tests still seem to rely on the chart server API:

Could we remove the chartserver dependencies? What is the best path forward? How deep does cartopy depend on the chart server API?

It is, AFAICT, only used for testing in that file.
