I’m actively looking for a better map tile provider here.

You’re getting New Orleans because it’s truly selecting from ~20 random US airports.

Stoked that you like the app!

I’ve been using them through their free api, and I got rate limited. So I’ll maybe self-host, or find a paid provider with better tiles
