What's New
Added
- CARTO API key setting — CARTO now watermarks raster tile requests (
basemaps.cartocdn.com) that don't include an API key. Settings > Map Tiles has a new CARTO API Key field (shown whenever a CartoDB provider is selected) that appends a free key to tile requests to remove the watermark.
How to fix the watermark:
- Get a free key at carto.com/basemaps/apikey — no account needed, takes about a minute
- Open Settings > Map Tiles in iNTERCEPT and paste it into the new CARTO API Key field
- Tiles reload automatically without the watermark
Fixed
- CartoDB watermark flash on mode maps — Drone, SSTV/ISS, MeshCore, Meshtastic, WebSDR, and Weather Satellite maps always painted an instant, hardcoded, unkeyed CartoDB tile layer before upgrading to the configured provider. They now use the real configured (and potentially keyed) tile layer immediately when Settings has already loaded elsewhere in the session, avoiding the unnecessary watermark flash.
