 To add a basemap, we use the `contextily.add_basemap` function, similarly to the way we added multiple layers (@sec-plot-static-layers).
-The default basemap is "Stamen Terrain".
-<!-- jn: correct me if I am wrong, but the default basemap does not seem to be Stamen Terrain... Please check it, and update the text and code -->
+The default basemap is "OpenStreetMap".
 You can specify a different basemap using the `source` parameter, with one of the values in `cx.providers` (@fig-basemap).

 Several popular built-in basemaps can be specified using a string:
 
 -   `'OpenStreetMap'`
--   `'Stamen Terrain'`
--   `'Stamen Toner'`
--   `'Stamen Watercolor'`
 -   `'CartoDB positron'`
 -   `'CartoDB dark_matter'`
 
-<!-- jn: please recheck the above list... there was some changes with Stamen maps recently, and I am not sure if the list is still correct... -->
-
 Other basemaps are available through the **xyzservices** package, which needs to be installed (see `xyzservices.providers` for a list), or using a custom tile server URL.
 For example, the following expression displays the `'CartoDB positron'` tiles in an `.explore` map (@fig-explore-basemaps).
