Raster and vector tile layers

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

To use these layers in your game, follow the following instructions:

Open "Map options" in the top right toolbar
Select Sources.
Click New Source.
Copy-paste the URL text from the below table into the URL field, enter an appropriate name, and select the corresponding data format shown in the table below
Click Create.
*Note: If the create button is greyed out ensure there are 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.
