Map requires API key now

[shaunanoordin]

Overview

Issue: WildCam Lab's Map Explorer now displays "API Key Required" on the map when viewing in Terrain view.

Analysis: The map provider for the OpenCycle Map - ThunderForest - recently introduced API keys and a pricing model for its services. http://www.thunderforest.com/docs/apikeys/

Solutions:

• Option 1: Sign up for an API key - this might incur a subscription cost.
• Option 2: Change the Terrain/topographical map provider. Options: https://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/
• Option 3: Use the Satellite view map (provided by Esri) as the default instead of the Terrain view map.
