Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now the OpenStreetMap data is displayed in the "standard" OSM style. I would like to be able to choose alternative styles, such as CyclOSM, since I mostly use it for cycling.

Describe the solution you'd like
For example, more options in the menu to choose from, like adding a "CyclOSM" option in addition to "Street Map", "Satellite Map", etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The tile sources could also be completely customisable maybe

Research direction

Start by tracing the map style selector and the existing Street Map and Satellite Map options in the frontend. Then inspect how their tile sources are configured. Done means users can select CyclOSM alongside the existing styles and the selected tiles render correctly; the broader custom-source option may need separate scope.
