Many organizations that have paid subscriptions to online basemap subscriptions (ESRI, Bing, Google, etc) or have access to open source online basemaps use the same web services as background context for digital maps. For workbenches that use writers that produce digital maps, it would be nice to have this reader format or transformer so that maps produced from FME would be more meaningful. Can Safe use the FME options basemap functionality in Inspector and convert that to a reader and/or transformer format? Another option here is to add that FME option to the writers that produce digital maps (CAD, DGN, PDF, JPEG, LYR) as a baseline maps parameter. With a reader and a transformer you could do more. A writer option would be simpler but also be beneficial to a lot of organizations as well.
