Use OpenStreetMap maps

when i was looking at the overpass turbo site, i noticed that they allow users to set their own custom tile set and opacity via settings. i wonder if something like that could be done for a “custom” basemap layer in iNat? this would allow folks to specify whatever (raster) tiles they prefer to use.

not sure if that’s friendly for tile providers, since enough folks hitting a particular provider might still overwhelm them, and folks might not attribute them correctly or use the tiles with proper licenses, but i thought the general concept was interesting for its flexibility.
