About

OSM iD Custom Layer Selector: Instant Custom Backgrounds in iD
Mapping with OpenStreetMap's iD editor? Tired of manually adding custom background layers? The OSM iD Custom Layer Selector extension simplifies your workflow by integrating directly into iD!

What It Does
Easily define, save, and instantly switch between multiple custom background map layers (WMS, TMS, etc.) right within the iD editor. Access your saved layers through a seamless, in-editor panel. Just one click to apply your preferred background – no more copy-pasting!

Key Features
Effortless Layer Management: Add, remove, and organize layers in the extension popup.

Seamless iD Editor Integration: Your layers appear as clickable buttons in a panel inside iD's "Custom Background" modal.

One-Click Application: Apply layers instantly, saving you steps.

Synced Settings: Your custom layer list is saved and synced across your Chrome browsers.

How to Use
Configure: Open the extension popup, add layer Names & URLs, and Save.

Activate in iD: In openstreetmap.org/edit, go to "Background Settings" > "Edit custom background."

Apply: Your custom panel appears. Click a button to instantly apply your layer!

Permissions & Privacy
This extension requires access to openstreetmap.org/edit to inject its panel, uses your clipboard to copy URLs, and local storage to save/sync your layers. No personal data is collected or transmitted.
