This repository, inspired by BBBike Map Compare, hopes to serve as an index for free, high quality image tile services that can be used by Leaflet, and other JavaScript mapping libraries.
The basemaps can be changed with the select box, or the next/previous buttons on the navbar. The green + icon can be used to add a single overlay to the map.
The Info button provides the endpoints for the basemap/overlay, as well as links to launch a demo of the map in Codepen or JsFiddle
Feel free to submit a pull request with any additional high quality tile providers. For the time being I would like to exclude tile providers that cover a limited geographic area. Datasets should be continent or world wide, and load reasonably quick.
I would like to curate attribution information (ie "© OpenStreetMap contributors" for OSM data) for each basemap and overlay.
I would also like to place a link to the data providers website in the info modal for each basemap and overlay.
