Change default map tile service #469

Closed barbeau closed 8 years ago

barbeau commented 9 years ago

We're currently using Lyrk as default for vector map tiles, but we were just notified that they are shutting down:

Unfortunately we have to inform you that our Tile Services will reach end of life on April 30, 2015. Your contract will be terminated on the 2015-04-05, the services will be still available for your usage until end of April. The availabilty of our servers cannot be assured after that date. We are really proud to have created an OpenStreetMap map style that has raised the bar in terms of accuracy and visual quality, but weren't able to create a sustainable business. Now we have to accept that it is the time to end this experiment. We want to thank you for being our customer. It was a great journey for us.

The Lyrk Team

So, we need to change to a different default provider.

We could also try out the Mapzen Vector Tile service, which we currently don't support: https://github.com/mapzen/vector-datasource/wiki/Mapzen-Vector-Tile-Service

I'm closing this, as I believe we're currently using Mapbox retina tiles as our default.
