Map Tile Server dialog

This dialog (in two variants) is used to set the default background map tile server settings, including the tile server to be used to open internal Internet maps. For Android, internal maps use the Android OSMDROID component to get Internet tiles from specific servers.

The appropriate dialog is displayed when you select the ellipsis button from the Android Map Tile Server property or the Background Map Tile Server property in the Application dialog.
