@villebro Thanks for your response. As far as I understand it, tokens are compulsory only for metered map services like MapBox, ESRI, Bing, Google map services etc. For the open map services like Open Street Map (OSM), this is not a requirement and maps can be accessed directly by including the corresponding (Web Map Service) WMS URL through some js libraries like Leaflet or OpenLayers. For example, I found the WMS URL (http://maps.heigit.org/osm-wms/service?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS) for a world map on the info section of https://www.osm-wms.de/, which in turn was found on the OSM page on WMS (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WMS). I can use this WMS URL to show a map in my own page and the corresponding Leaflet/OpenLayers library will provide me tools to navigate on the map, show popups, make measurements etc. It would be great to have the same control through a custom Superset visualization. I shall try to join the slack and discuss it there and I request @juen1jp to chime in with his ideas. Meanwhile, may I request you to tag contributors who may have worked on the mapbox module in the past to share their take on this in this thread. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
