Added a publicly available basemap (token is not required) #17

Closed drnextgis closed 3 years ago

drnextgis commented 3 years ago

By now in order to have a basemap for the search viewer user have to provide a mapbox token via environment variable. This PR adds a default basemap (Dark Matter basemaps from Carto) which doesn't require any preconfigurations.

Thanks @drnextgis, is there any limitation (License) for adding Carto basemap? (I do not believe in free things)

From Basemaps Terms of Service:
:confused:

I couldn't find any dark basemap with clear permissive license, but what about stamen raster tiles available under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 3.0) license?

I've updated the PR.

Thanks @drnextgis, I've totally remove Mapbox basemap option and also added the stamen basemap in the raster stac viewer 🙏
