Settings
Navigate to the Admin Dashboard → CM Maps Routes Manager Pro → Settings.
The settings are in the General tab, under the Map section.
- Default map view - Choose what is the default view. Users can change this at any time.
Enable OSM tiles button - If enabled, the OSM tiles buttons will be displayed on the map and user will be able to switch the tiles on the front-end. Note: this option was introduced in version 4.9.3.
Choosing OSM tiles Insert URL for tile - Add the URL of the tile service of your choice. Check Tiles - OpenStreetMap Wiki for more examples. Note: This option was renewed in the version 4.9.3. You can add up to 6 different OSM tiles. To do this, click the Add new button. You need to add Label and URL in the corresponding fields. You can also set of the OSM tiles as the default one. To remove any of the OSM tiles, click the button Delete.

The URL can store three parameters: zoom level, tile height and tile width.
Add /:zoom:/:x:/:y: at the end of the URL and e all three patterns will be substituted with corresponding values, and map will be provided by source server.
Example
Add the tile url https://tile.openstreetmap.org/:zoom:/:x:/:y:.png. The source server will generate https://tile.openstreetmap.org/7/40/27.png.
The particular template view may look different in accordance to certain API requirements.
