</div>Right, I had not read this through. It would probably be much easier to get a<br>
specific authorization from MapBox than from Google though, given their open-<br>
source orientation.<br>

</div>In any case, there are quite a lot of OSM based layers which can be used (HOT,<br>
OSM.fr, OpenCycleMap...). We can still enhance the plugin with those.<br>
It would lack an aerial imagery layer though.<br>

<br>
</div>Right, if we remove everything from the plugin except the TMS YXZ layers, we<br>
could also just have a better ergonomy for opening this kind of layers through<br>
GDAL, and have a predefined list of layers accessible on internet (even auto-<br>
updatable by downloading the list).<br>
