Public bug reported:

As of today, Mapquest has disabled their free map tile feed. This means
the Maps app no longer displays anything except a warning pointing to

http://devblog.mapquest.com/2016/06/15/modernization-of-mapquest-
results-in-changes-to-open-tile-access/

Screenshot attached.

[Impact]
GNOME Maps is included by default in Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 and 16.04. The app 
currently is useless.

Triaged as "High" because it "prevents the application or any
dependencies from functioning correctly at all".
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance

[Test Case]
Install gnome-maps. Open the Maps app. Do you see maps?

Note that maps are cached so you may not notice the feed has been
disabled unless you try viewing a specific area at a close enough zoom
that you have not viewed recently.

[Regression Potential]
No Stable Release Update is ready yet for this issue.
