Public bug reported:

I'm not sure this is the right place to talk about this, or if this
should only be referred to Qt maintainer (I'm not sure to understand how
QtLocation interacts with Qt), please redirect me if needed :)

One thing that makes OpenStreetMap and its community very powerful is
that many people are doing tile serving, and so there are many nice
styles out there, many being dedicated to some particular interests,
like bike, boat, transport, etc.

When using QtLocation it could be very useful to be able to pass the
tile url as parameter (just like we can do right now for the user-
agent), following the more standard scheme, see:
http://www.thunderforest.com/tutorials/tile-format/

So I imagine being able to do something like (in my map plugin):

PluginParameter { name: "tileUrl"; value:
'http://tiles.mydomain.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png' }

Thanks!
