Deck.gl migration: map background is hidden by XYZ tiles #966

If I select "OpenStreetMap", it's shown under the XYZ satellite tiles:

This is on https://deckglexo.transition.city/

@davidmurray to confirm, what would be the expected behavior?

Proposal:

If an XYZ tile URL is specified on the server, it is used by default for the client.
But this XYZ tile configuration should be "just" any other map background, so it could be displayed in the map background box in the preferences and if the user selects any other choice, it is ignored
To go back to the XYZ tile, the user can select it again from the list

Would that be ok?

davidmurray commented 3 weeks ago

@tahini Yes! That would be perfect

kaligrafy commented 3 weeks ago

we need to use opacity and allow both to be selected (XYZ tiles and antoher tile source)

tahini commented 3 weeks ago

The opacity would be an extra preference then?

kaligrafy commented 3 weeks ago

Yes :-)
