Is Satellite imagery available for use with CartoMobile?

CartoMobile supports a variety of mechanisms for using image data as a Base Map (see our article on Base Maps), and there are a variety of commercial and free sources for these various mechanisms.

Recently, the folks at MapQuest have also made available an OpenStreetMap-style tile server using imagery from a variety of sources.   Thanks to them for providing this service.   If you want to make use of their service, follow these steps:

1. Create a new map or edit an existing map using Change Map in the gear menu
2. Tap Add Custom OSM Server to add the new Base Map
3. Type a label in the Layer Label box
4. Type the following into the URL box:
   http://oatile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/sat
5. Tap Done

When you re-enter the Map, you will now have access to this layer, courtesy of the folks at MapQuest.

They also have a differently-styled street map available using their data, which you can enable by following the same steps as above, and using:

http://otile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/osm 

as the URL
