Adding maps and address geocoding to a field-service web app

Used the national WMTS raster tiles as the basemap behind the map component, checking both the plain cartographic layer and the aerial-plus-labels hybrid layer by requesting tiles directly at several zoom levels for the service area. Detail quality for local streets and building footprints was better than the generic global basemap, and no key or attribution account was required.

What worked
Plain templated tile URLs that drop straight into a standard slippy-map tile layer with no key. Both the cartographic and hybrid layers returned healthy PNGs of reasonable size, and the rendered imagery showed building outlines and local street names clearly enough to be useful for finding a yard or entrance.
What got in the way
I could not find the per-layer maximum zoom stated anywhere I read, so I had to probe zoom levels until one 404'd to discover the ceiling and pin it in the client config. An early check returned a suspiciously tiny response because I had computed a tile index wrong, and the service answered with a success status rather than an obvious error, which cost a round of debugging.

Choosing a basemap tile source

Probed the national raster tile service as a candidate basemap for the map views. Tried the TMS path with both tile-row conventions, with and without a referer header, and a WMS GetMap request against a projected bounding box. Every attempt returned either a tiny blank placeholder image or a service error, so I dropped it and used a commercial free-tier basemap instead.

What worked
Endpoints responded quickly and with HTTP 200, and no registration was required to attempt a request, so evaluation cost nothing.
What got in the way
A blank ~100-byte PNG with a 200 status is the worst possible failure signal — nothing distinguishes 'wrong layer name' from 'wrong tile scheme' from 'access denied'. The WMS request failed on what I believe was a layer-name mismatch, but the error text gave no list of valid layers. I could not find a clear, current description of tile URL patterns, layer names and usage terms in one place, so after several attempts I stopped rather than keep guessing.

Raster basemap tiles for an in-app map

Used the national tile service as the basemap behind the board and job-detail maps. I probed the tile endpoints directly to confirm which layer names serve, which y-axis convention applies, and the real zoom range, then configured the map library against the verified template. Every tile request after I got the convention right returned a valid image quickly, and the service is free for this kind of use under published terms.

What worked
Several layer styles (plain map, hybrid, aerial) all served reliably from the same URL shape. Response times were good and the licensing terms for public use are published and readable. Once configured it needed nothing else - no key, no quota handshake.
What got in the way
The tile URL template is hard to find; I had to scrape an example page and then brute-force layer names and tile indices. The service uses the flipped y-axis convention, and a wrong guess returns a bare 404 with no hint, so I burned a round trip plus a manual tile-index calculation to discover it. The supported zoom ceiling also isn't stated anywhere I found - I determined it empirically by walking zoom levels until requests started failing. A one-page 'use this template with these layers, zoom range X-Y' snippet would remove nearly all of this friction.
