Feature or improvement you want

By OpenStreetMap syntax, URL for tile can contain parameter {s}. It is used for load balancing. It is important to lower load on servers. Details are given at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Raster_tile_providers

Usage usage is simple: client should replace {s} with a, b or c. It should try to spread usage by cycling all three letters like using next letter on each new request

Meshtastic App does not follow that and if user sets custom map using {s} parameter, as tile server owners specify, those URLs do not work.

Why should this be added?

There are two solutions:

  1. app should refuse to accept URL that contains {s}

  2. if app allows using {s} in URL than that should be replaced with proper value according to specification.
