Apart from ESRI maps, the user can configure his own base maps using WMS/WMTS services. To do that the following options have been added:

• Import WMS/WMTS service: Allow to import a list of WMS/WMTS service from a file containing pairs Name and Service URL, and optionally Username and Password if the WMS/WMTS requires credentials.

• Add WMS/WMTS service: Allow to add a WMS/WMTS service manually.

• Edit WMS/WMTS service: Allow to modify the WMS/WMTS information.

Delete WMTS service: Remove a WMTS service from the list.
