Custom Map Tile Servers
I use Thunderforest map tiles in various side projects where I fly my drone, and I'd love to be able to use them while planning a mission. I also have my own orthophotos and tile servers that serve standard tiles in a {Z}/{Y}/{X} directory.
I'd love to be able to plug in a templated url to use a different tile server during mission planning. Something like: "https://tile.thunderforest.com/outdoors/{Z}/{Y}/{X}.png?apikey=MYAPIKEY" and have the map render using my tiles rather than the standard ones. (And because I'm using my own API key, I'd be footing the bill for serving the tiles.)
The reason I need custom tiles is two fold:
1) I want tiles with topographic lines, I often fly in difficult terrain
2) I want to plan missions around specific sites in my forest, e.g. evaluating a stand of trees for health, and using my previously generated tiles is really helpful for planning those missions

Using firefox extensions that trap the URL and replace it, it's pretty easy to produce this result:
