Description

The background map layer list appears to be a fixed set of global defaults. In some regions we have more recent and higher resolution imagery for editing OSM, indexed at https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index/.

It would be nice if these were included in the available layer list.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the fixed global defaults produce the available background map layer list, then review the editor-layer-index data source and how its regional imagery could be represented. Done means appropriate indexed layers appear in the available list for regions where they provide newer or higher-resolution imagery, with existing defaults still handled correctly.
