It was the path it seems that they have version number in the path:
'http://t%i.skyvector.net/tiles/301/1210/%i/%i/%i.jpg'
1210 was changed to 1211

We should probably monitor this for a few weeks see if it need to be read the 
"version" from http://skyvector.com/

Did you remove the tiles (or check "Force update")? They aren't updated 
otherwise.

Also, could you provide coordinates where you can't get the tiles? (Right 
click, copy location or something like that copies them to clipboard).

This has to do with the USER_AGENT, it seems that they are actively blocking 
GMapCatcher

Yeah, seems like that.

Try with the latest version, it should all be good now 
also I moved the USER_AGENT data to the config file...
See r1557

Yes they are actively blocking GMapCatcher, their ban is based in the user 
agent.
all we can do now is change it to something else, in revision r1557 we are 
making it easier to change the agent, it is now in the config file 
(gmapcatcher.conf) look at the bottom of that file you should see the [agent] 
section.

I guess we could also add an option to randomize the name and web_address for 
the agent.

No.

If they don't want us to use their maps, we shouldn't use them. IMO even the 
user agent in conf was taking it too far.
