Originally reported by: Anonymous

I have been following umap development and it's come a long way over the last couple of year. Nice work!

I am using the tool for some participatory mapping and wondering if you can add a satellite base layer? It will be a helpful reference layer for some of the stakeholders I work with.

Thanks, Gregg

Sadly, I don't know any that is free (as in "free beer" and as in "free speech") to use :(

ESRI Basemaps are free to a point (50,000,000 loads/yr) and I should note that OSM and the general public have contributed to their maps. Here is a link about using their basemaps, and here are two lists of ESRI Basemaps and ESRI's own list.

For the US there are lots - National Map Rest Endpoints. They even have 1ft imagery for densely populated areas.

Original comment by Yohan Boniface (BitBucket: yohanboniface, GitHub: yohanboniface):

Thanks for both suggestions :) About MapQuest, I'm not sure it worth adding it, as the tiles are limited to zoom 11 worldwide, which in my opinion is not enough for the common use cases. About ESRI, I need dig a bit on the ToS to be sure there are no trap, like for example EvilMap saying that if you use the map to geocode your date (eg. tracing them) this information (the geocode) is only owned by Evil Inc, and not by you. We need uMap to remain a totally free tool.

Gregg, by the way, you still can use a custom basemap, using the gear symbol, then "custom background". If needed I can make a screencast.

Thank you for uMap! And, yes, I would like to see a screencast as I have been unable to make it work so far with a TMS source. The other screencasts have been very helpful!

Can you use Bing aeral view as used by OpenSeaMap, like here ;-)

amenk commented 9 years ago

There is a Bing layer plugin for leaflet...

ESRI maps are free only if you have ArcGIS Server:

Q: Can I use these services for free in a custom web application?

A: Yes, the services are free, however the use of Esri Web mapping APIs may require a subscription. If you have ArcGIS Server, no subscription is needed. If you do not have ArcGIS Server and are deploying an application built with these APIs commercially or internally, then a subscription is required

And what about MapBox Satellite ? https://www.mapbox.com/satellite/ (I did not seek too far the terms of use ...)

legrostdg commented 7 years ago

An aerial layer would be awesome...

alpterlab commented 7 years ago

I have been using mapbox satellite... http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/alpi-liguri-open-outdoor_109351#11/44.1370/7.8042 and also personalized tileserver map http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/cartografia-1-50000-alpi-liguri_109355#12/44.1527/7.8631

What would be useful would be a sort of overlap of the personalized map on the top of the OSM layers... giving the possibility to chose the map and also the transparency of it....

See here as example of trasparency on the top right on various sources... leaflet and openlayers... http://tileserver.alpiligurioutdoor.it

alpterlab commented 7 years ago

if someone is interested this should be re-open Support overlay tile layers #87

legrostdg commented 7 years ago

@alpter #87 is a duplicate of #71

Hi everyone, I was just wondering about this feature! @yohanboniface I'm trying to figure out how to add Bing or Mapbox background to a uMap but I don't find how, could you help me if you have a minute? For Bing I'm trying to base it on the TMS in JOSM (bing[22]:https://www.bing.com/maps/) but just entering https://www.bing.com/maps/ is not working. Same for Mapbox https://{switch:a,b,c,d}.tiles.mapbox.com/styles/v1/openstreetmap/cj8gojt0i1eau2rnn7q4mdgu7/tiles/256/{zoom}/{x}/{y}?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoib3BlbnN0cmVldG1hcCIsImEiOiJhNVlHd29ZIn0.ti6wATGDWOmCnCYen-Ip7Q even when removing the token part of the URL.

More generally speaking it would be great to have the free providers such as Bing, Mapbox or DigitalGlobe (if possible legally speaking) in the tile options for uMap! 😉

yohanboniface commented 6 years ago

Try this:

https://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/styles/v1/openstreetmap/cj8gojt0i1eau2rnn7q4mdgu7/tiles/256/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoib3BlbnN0cmVldG1hcCIsImEiOiJhNVlHd29ZIn0.ti6wATGDWOmCnCYen-Ip7Q

if possible legally speaking

I don't think it is, but I'd like to be proven I'm wrong :)

mnoblecourt commented 6 years ago

The link works, thanks a lot for the super fast answer! OK, I haven't investigated at all so forget it then. Thanks again!

mnoblecourt commented 4 years ago

@yohanboniface me again :) We have tried to create a new uMap with satellite imagery background. I have tried to base it on MapBox's current URL and tried to adapt to the format you edited last time https://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.satellite/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoib3BlbnN0cmVldG1hcCIsImEiOiJjaml5MjVyb3MwMWV0M3hxYmUzdGdwbzE4In0.q548FjhsSJzvXsGlPsFxAQ, but it doesn't seem to be working... if you can help again that would be most appreciated.

Sorry, missed that notification by then it seems. I guess it's way to late, but please reopen if needed/ :)
