It looks like STAMEN free background maps will be discontinued from 10/31/2023.

 

Does FME Form automatically show 'STADIA' maps as option from 11/01/2023 for free background maps? Also are there any other free background maps as other options?

@fmeuser_gc​ you can use others free links into FME Datainspector.

 

maps 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Thanks @danilo_fme​ . Unfortunately that's not an open source and requires payment/subscription.

 

STAMEN is an open source and STADIA is a replacement of STAMEN from 11/01. Do you know FME will provide an option to automatically redirect to STADIA maps?

But we are also looking for a new provider to offer you. If that happens, it will probably be in a hotfix update to FME, so watch out for that.

 


Thank You @jamesb16otterill​.

Great!


Hi @fmeuser_gc​ 

We have incorporated Stadia maps as a free alternative. Please see the Stamen Background Maps Deprecation article for more information.

 


Thanks @lizatsafe​ .

 

Currently we're on FME 2021.1 version and have an API key from Stadia maps. Is there a way to utilize Stadia maps using API key in FME 2021.1 version(as we don't have plans to upgrade to latest version of FME) ?
