Changing the Basemap

The basemap that is used can be changed by selecting a different item from the Basemap drop-down list above the map. The list of available options can be extended by loading a configuration file with appropriate specifications in the basemap_tile_servers and map_attributions sections, and also in the api_keys section if needed. Entries in the map_color_adj section of a configuration file can be used to adjust the saturation, contrast, and brightness of the basemap. Such a configuration file can be loaded either on startup or by using the File/Read config menu item.

If a tile server that requires an API key is specified in the basemap_tile_servers section of a configuration file, but no corresponding API key is provided, that tile server will not appear in the drop-down list.
