VK-centric. Not sure it will often have anything that we don't already cover, but it might. Has a bunch of programmes we don't yet cover, some quite niche. We should maybe replace Mills in our menu with a generic "other".

Partial support added but the API does not allow cross-origin requests to the API, so cannot progress unless that is allowed on their end.

Removing Blocked label, we could use a 3rd-party service like https://cors.lol to perform the lookups.

Back to Blocked. https://cors.lol works, but the data doesn't seem particularly useful. At the time of writing, all spots are either SOTA, POTA or WWFF, which already have their own spotting systems, so it's not clear if PnP is giving us anything we don't already have. In addition to this, the PnP API doesn't provide lat/lon for references, so we would need to make separate requests to the SOTA/POTA/WWFF APIs anyway for that.

Potentially PnP can provide spots for SiOTA (Silos), VK Shires and ZLOTA, but its API doesn't provide a way to get lat/lon for those either, so it's not clear if we could ever actually display the spots.
