From v1.19 onwards, the game supports displaying raster and vector tile layers from an external source.

To use these layers in your game, open "Map options" in the right toolbar, select Sources, and click New Source. Copy-paste the URL text in the URL field then click Create. If it's greyed out make sure there's no spaces before or after the URL text.

Do not use the "copy link" context menu option from your browser. Select the URL text and copy-paste as if it was plain text.

Do not post any links containing API keys, even if they are your API keys.
