I've made a patch for using MapQuest Open Tiles: http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/open/map

This is much easier on the eye than standard OSM, so I thought it might be beneficial to the community at large.

Hi @mikl. Awesome! Committed! If you want to make this the default for maps, that would be pretty great. It does look a lot better than the default OSM. And we could have the a default Aerial as well.

I have no tiles rendered, nor php/js errors on D6, when applying the same code than in this patch.
Anybody has an idea ? Is this working only for D7 ? Do I need extra code to add support for MapQuest on D6?
(I posted on this closed issue queue because the subject is the same one, sorry if it was a bad idea).

Hello pguillard,

I'm focusing on the developpement of the version 7.x.
Feel free to provide a patch for the version 6.x and I'll add it to the dev version.

Sure. The problem is that I'm stuck, there is no tiles on my map (white map) nor errors when I add theses lines in includes/openlayers.layers.inc :

$layer->name = 'mapquest_osm';
$layer->title = 'MapQuest OSM';
$layer->description = 'MapQuest’s rendering of OpenStreetMap.';
$layer->data = array(
   'baselayer' => TRUE,
   'attribution' => '....',
   'projection' => array('900913'),
   'layer_type' => 'openlayers_layer_type_xyz',
   'url' => 'http://otile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/osm/${z}/${x}/${y}.png',
);
$layers[$layer->name] = $layer;
