map tile url
-
Hi there,
I’ve created a map using OpenStreetMap (OSM). Now i’m trying to style the map itself (colors, etc)
As i understand it’s not so easy to create a custom style, but as i read it you can add a custom Map Tile URL – under ‘settings’ > ‘Map Tile URL’.
I’d like to use a lighter, bland look, such as the open-source map style Positron (or similar) found @ https://openmaptiles.org/styles/#positronAlso found some servers @ https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Raster_tile_providers.
When i copy-pasted the tile URL it didn’t show immediate effect – but that might have to do with the latency? (free version).
Am i wandering too far in the woods or is the way to go and should i be more patient or tweak settings?Cheers, Ed’

Leaflet Map supports only (one) defined tile server and MapQuest on a map. You can use more than one with the plugin Extensions for Leaflet Map, (documentation). But you can’t style the tiles.
Thanks,
One tile server would suffice. Just like to have the map(s) lighter/bland so the overlay areas/markers stand out more.
And i believe i read the settings-options correctly, similar to your reply. One thing i was in doubt about was the variable ‘{s}’ where the subdomains differ sometimes (ex. only a and b). I’ve tried the options from the plugin’s settings, but thought maybe it would take a while to load?
An alternative i was thinking about was to just use CSS, ex:.leaflet-tile-pane {
-webkit-filter: grayscale(70%);
filter: grayscale(70%);
}*I’ll (re)try some of those tile-servers again.
Cheers, Ed’
