MapQuest has turned off their public API for map tiles, so this plugin needed some work. I have:

  • Removed the MapQuest sources
  • Made the interface for adding new sources more powerful
  • Overhauled how sources are saved and loaded under the hood

Resolves #402

To test this, try adding ArcGIS's official demo server.

  1. Select Custom... as the Source
  2. Set the Base URL to https://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer/tile/
  3. Clear the Suffix (it should be empty)
  4. Set the Coord order to z/y/x
  5. Set the Max Zoom to 18
  6. Click Save... and set the name to ArcGIS (Terrain)
  7. Map tiles should now appear.

Keep in mind that using ESRI's map servers are subject to their terms of use, and you may need to purchase an ArcGIS Online subscription to legally use it: http://downloads2.esri.com/ArcGISOnline/docs/tou_summary.pdf

Also verify that you can switch between sources, the custom sources are saved and loaded when you exit and restart, and that you can delete custom sources.
