Tile Sources
Nutiteq SDK is map agnostic, it means that you can technically use any map source (your own, 3rd party etc), and by default we don't bundle any map source with the SDK. You may be interested on following sources of map tiles:

Note: the code given in the table shows how to construct a tile data source. In order to use this data source, the following template can be used:
mapView.getLayers().setBaseLayer(new RasterLayer(dataSource, id))
where dataSource is assigned with construction code from the table and id is a unique id for each layer.
