    Custom map sources

    You can setup the app to use any kind of your own map tiles url source. Pattern should contain {x}, {y}, {z} variables for x coordinate, y coordinate and z as zoom. Supported projection is a spherical one (same as Google and OpenStreetMaps are using by default).

    Some map providers like Yandex for example is using elliptical projection and thus their tiles are not supported at the moment. Some providers, like Bing from Microsoft is using a quad schema with {q} parameter - this is not also supported in the current version. Support for Bing and Yandex type of map providers will be provided in the future versions.

    Here is just some inspiration for map sources that can be used under terms and conditions of their providers.

    Please be sure to consult each map provider terms of usage and license information before actually using their data!

    We don’t have all of those urls tested, please see for yourself what works and what does not.
