Please excuse my laziness, but I ran into another online service (not a mapping app) that uses several appealing map tilesets that are not included in TF.
But before I immerse myself in:
http://topofusion.com/wms.php (http://topofusion.com/wms.php) . . .
Are Bing tilesets compatible with TF?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/articles/bing-maps-tile-system (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/articles/bing-maps-tile-system)
If so, might you consider adding them?
And more generally, is there a quick way to determine a tileset's compatibility with TF?

Hey KF!
Last time I checked the terms of service on Bing were prohibitive for TF using them unfortunately. They wouldn't be WMS but under TMS which TF does support. TF just doesn't have a custom TMS server capability.... yet.
There isn't a quick way to determine compatability unfortunately. WMS is pretty good but has so many options and projections that it can be pretty arcane to really figure out what a server has. Best way is to go to the dev console on your browser (f12 usually) and see what a site is using for a full query. That's where I usually start.
