#1754: MapQuest tiles no longer available
---------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  kalxas   |      Owner:  live-demo@…
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  major    |  Milestone:  OSGeoLive10.0
Component:  LiveDVD  |   Keywords:  tiles
---------------------+---------------------------
 As of July 11, 2016 direct tile access from MapQuest has been
 discontinued.

 Some projects use those tiles as a base layer for their demonstrations. A
 quick fix would be to replace those tiles with OSM tiles.

 We have always noted to projects that OSGeo-Live should be able to be used
 offline, so depending on external resources is not recommended.

 Right now we have many alternatives for tile generation in the disk, we
 should try to produce a base layer and replace the external dependencies.

 Thoughts?
