Hi all jumping (a bit late) on this...
I realize that this would be much heavier and much more expensive to implement but what about developing a "QGIS style" for OSM-based tiles (that could, e.g., be hosted on QGIS.org)? That would take care of 3 issues: - "Quality of the cartography": if we are not 100% happy with the default OSM style as a background map, we could come up with a more appropriate style - "Quality of the service": there is a risk that OSMF once shuts down the service because we generate too much traffic. If "we" host the tiles ourselves, the risks and associated decisions remain in "our" hands - "Frequency of updates": same, if it lies in "our" hands, we can define ourselves what frequency would be appropriate I assume that developing a new style is not a huge task (there are probably enough people around with the necessary skills) and could be achieved either with a "small" budget or with sufficient participation of the community. But the long-term maintenance and hosting / serving of the tiles is probably an issue of a different magnitude... Would that idea be worth exploring further? Or do you think it is completely not realistic ?
