UI to edit Custom map tile server URL

[radh21301]

It would be great to be able to add a URL to a custom tile server like maptiler etc.

I see that there is a feature, but it asks me to edit some application.properties file, and I have no idea how to do that. For noobs like me, it would be nice to have it in the settings page of Reitti webui.

Looks like this feature was introduced in this PR: #132

Hello @radh21301,

at the moment we do not have an UI for that since reitti does not have any settings in the ui which are global or you have to change this for every user on its own. That is the reason why we only set this in the application.properties or over the docker environment variables.

But let me help you with that, maybe this will already solve your problem.

Are you running in docker? Then add
CUSTOM_TILES_SERVICE: https://example.com/x/y/z to the docker-compose.yml around line 16.

If you running from source, you can edit the file application.properties. You should find this in src/main/resources.
At line 92, uncomment both entries and fill them with your custom url and maybe attribution.

For both to take affect, you need to restart reitti afterwards.

I hope this helped,

PS: I will add a section to the documentation for this.

That makes sense. I did that.

but looks like something weird is going on. I am using Maptiler service by the way.

As you zoom in and out, roads seem disconnected etc.

I created an account and had success using the second api url. The one under Raster Tiles and Use 256x256 raster tiles for compatibility with certain libraries:

Hey. That fixed it. Thank you very much for all the good work!

But yes, some documentation on this would definitely help!

Awesome!
