Tell us your idea.

app/src/main/java/com/geeksville/mesh/model/map/CustomTileSource.kt contains additional tilesources not visible in the app. Many non-US users would like to be able to remove US-centric maps sources and add ones more relevant to their regions.

Can the map tileserver list be broken out into a user-accessible xml file, similar to how ATAK, and SWmaps do it? This would allow users to enter their own tileserver address, zoom limits, API key (if any).

The unused map sources mentioned are experimental, not ideal for production use. The current map sources provide reliable, free, worldwide coverage.

Adding custom maps has become difficult to implement since Android 10 due to storage restrictions (details here). If you have a solution, PRs are welcome!
