Switch to a different tiles provider, as OpenStreetMaps does not allow using tiles from their server in any application. #11

Closed dkapila closed 1 year ago

dkapila commented 3 years ago

OpenStreetMaps forbid using their tile servers (map APIs) in any other application, and it violates their requirements, since OpenStreetMaps's own server is meant as a demo environment. I see that there is an option to switch to another provider, but the default option of setting it to OpenStreetMaps should definitely be switched.

More details on their policies here: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/. Maybe it's good to double check with them?

Thank you for pointing this out, I'll learn the topic and make any adjustments needed!
