<p>So I found out that <a href="http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png">http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png</a> seems to work.</p>
<p>However, if I add this OSM layer to my Swiss QGIS project (EPSG:21781) - the swiss data seems to appear in the atlantic, west of "Guinea Ecuatorial" ;-(</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I have a couple of questions around the new "Tileserver" layer support in QGIS desktop to be released with 2.18. I think the main commit is <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/f5b657db19eda7e72e6ed34eb7fe333c156acad0">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/f5b657db19eda7e72e6ed34eb7fe333c156acad0</a> - right?</p>
<p>First, let me thank you a lot for this - Martin and Lutra Consulting for developing/sponsoring it!</p>
<p>-----------------</p>
<p>However, I wonder if the usability of the newly added tilserver is already good enough? Or at least I think it is not really obvious how to use it.</p>
<p>1. How can add a new connection to a tile server? Is the browser the only way? If yes, I hope that an additional entry to Layer --> Add Layer menu could be added - all other layer types can be added this way.</p>
<p>2. What is a correct URL? This is really hard to find out. F.e. I went to <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_servers">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_servers</a> and tried to copy some URLs and failed about finding the correct syntax. I added the layer to the project --> nothing happened. No display, no error message. Maybe because the projections do not match? - or would QGIS reproject on the fly?</p>
<p>3. Can we add some popular tile map server URLs by default - similar to the QuickMapServices plugin?</p>
<p>4. How can one edit an existing tile server connection - e.b. change title or URL? Currently, one can only delete and re-add it.</p>
<p>-----------------</p>
<p>Thank you for your reply,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>
