Thunderforest maps

[pontiusthepilot]

Hi All.

There seems to be to have been some disquiet regarding the base map recently. In particular the complaints I have seen appear to surround the level of detail available on OpenCycleMap.

I came across this site the other day:

https://www.openaip.net/

As far as I can tell, the base map appears to be this: https://www.thunderforest.com/maps/landscape/. This map appears to me to be both very clear and very detailed. In particular, the purple cycle routed that make parts of Germany and almost all of The Netherlands unusable are not there.

As Thunderforest are the same people that produce OpenCycleMap, is it possible, or could it be possible in the future, to use this map with Plan-G?

Regards.
Pontius.

Sadly no. I've already been in contact with them and they were unwilling for users to manage their own subscriptions. The only way we could use them is if I personally pay for everyone's map use, and there's no way to recoup that cost in an economically viable way.
