Personalized map
No, it's not correct. Have you actually read our official documentation before attempting this?
Yes, through that link I was able to add Google maps. I realise the mbtiles is not file based xyz, which probably is what I need. I have used QGIS to specifically create XYZ directory (not mbtiles) and those now load without an error. Though I am still struggling to make sure they load, still seeing an empty map though I could be overlooking something still. Making some headway...
Can you confirm this is now a proper xyz file? https://upande.com/temp/test2
Any guidance would be appreciated @anton
I don't know what to say. Where are the placeholders? The URL doesn't even return anything. Have you read the documentation? Have you looked at the examples?
Oops, that folder itself is not public, this is the image to one of the tiles that follows the placeholder method further down that url path, if I understand it correctly. https://upande.com/temp/test2/12/2480/2063.png. It doesn't give an error, but when I zoom to this area, I am not getting the tile to appear. I have read the manual yes though not quite there yet!
So what's the URL you're using in the settings?
I tried both https://upande.com/temp/test2/12/2480/2063.png and https://upande.com/temp/test2/12/2480/. I then search for a nearby landmark as all tiles are white and I can't browse there easily otherwise. Not seeing any errors, but not seeing the tiles either yet. I must be close though!
The documentation says:
It has to be a special URL with {x}, {y} and {z} placeholders.
Where are the placeholders in your URL?
I have picked up my attempts again to crack this and I figured getting custom xyz to work with a public web service is the best start (before loading own xyz files).
I am testing examples as described here. If I understand correctly, I have to take the url with placeholders (variables), e.g. https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
Whatever I pick though remains as a white background without showing the tiles. Is there a setting file I have to attend to perhaps on our server?
Many thanks.

Have you checked the browser developer tools to see what's going on?
Yes, I had found some errors suggesting it needs PNG, yet the url I am feeding is asking for a PNG. I tried googling this and found a work around that was being proposed, though I am not sure if this is the way forward.
A solution for it is provided here https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/10277
Thanks for your pointers...
There is this error "could not load image because of The source image could not be decoded.. Please make sure to use a supported image type such as PNG or JPEG. Note that SVGs are not supported."
Have you checked the response to see if you're actually getting an image? And what headers you're getting.
We have checked and it seems we are not getting an image, perhaps we need access tokens for the custom OSM maps?!
I am very interested though probably was afraid to be told RTFM ;)
Ok, we had tried several things. One of them is adding this link: https://upande.com/temp/ke_907247_221010_10km2.mbtiles. Is this one in the correct format? It was created with QGIS.
But it also gives quite some errors if I inspect the page. I am not a hardcore developer so may be overlooking something basic.
Thanks for your prompt replies.
