New provider added!
Meet MapTiler, a map provider that offers a cost more affordable than even Mapbox (and Mapbox is already cheaper than Google Maps).
The benefit of this provider in this plugin not only is the very competitive and scalable cost, but the option to create custom maps. Yes, you can customize a map in their online editor and then display that in your app
Custom maps:
Here is a quick instruction on how to use this new provider:
Of course first install the plugin, Leafy Maps.
On the plugins tab inside your app, paste the provider key that you can grab from them after creating your account:
Then select MapTiler from the list of providers:
Then write the name of the map tile you desire to show:
If you want to display a custom map, grab the key from your custom map dashboard item:
And paste it here like this:
Also, as of today, if you are on the generous free plan you are required to show the MapTiler logo, so control it yourself through that yes/no field.
And here it is!
This one is the hybrid map, that shows the satellite with contextual information.
And a friendly reminder
Leafy Maps is an open and community led plugin!
If you would be interested in adding more features that this, or any other provider offers, and even features unrelated to a specific provider, then you can sponsor the work needed to build that new feature! Just talk to me
So this plugin is made by you and for you!
