There are other free mapping libraries available such as open street maps or libreMaps that do not require API keys.

This change would simplify setup configuration and not require users to go register with Stadia for an API key before using Potato Mesh.

I can quickly produce this PR. Just wanted to check in first. @l5yth

I'm in favor of this change. Please propose a dataset that is monochrome/greyscale. Bonus points for dark/light theme :)

I used the stadia maps because they were "free" for development but just in the end realized they require an account. Would love to see something that does not overwhelm the layout.

We could use this one and add an CSS layer that makes it "grey"

Just noticed my demo instance hit the "free" limit, so if you don't mind, I'll go ahead and swap out the tiles.

There are still some bugs with the dark mode toggle but it works for now.
