Hello everybody.

Since Google maps API key got an expensive cost than i can't afford. I figure out a solution to this.

Mapbox
Mapbox provide not just a vector street map also an satellital images.
www.Mapbox.com

1.- Register and obtain your API KEY or Access Token

2.- Once obtained your API KEY, open settings.txt and alter (imageMapsURL) line with the following code:
Where zoom parameter need to be added manually and has the following values

Standard Terrain
Raster Image Z18 equal to : 17
Raster Image Z17 equal to : 16

Distance Terrain
Raster Image Z18 equal to : 13
Raster Image Z17 equal to : 12

EXAMPLE using Standard Terrain with a Raster image Z17 (special thanks to CosmigonoN)

Regards.
Manuel

Thank you very much for the Google alternative

To make it easier to see the code to enter in settings.txt

Thank you, that helps!

Thanks. That is an awesome help for route builders.

That's brilliant, thanks a lot.

Nice find, Manuel.

Thanks.
