[R-sig-Geo] mapview with custom tiles

[Tim Appelhans]

Marcel,
from my point of view the question is why would you want to use mapview 
with custom tiles?

If the answer to this is that you want to create a final presentation 
grade map including some of the features that mapview provides by 
default (i.e. zoom-to-layer button, attribute table popup, mouse 
coordinates, scaleBar), you can do so by adding all these components to 
your custom map:

library(mapview)
library(raster)

leaflet() %>%
   addTiles(urlTemplate = 'http://localhost:8000/tiles8/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
            options = tileOptions(minZoom = 2, maxZoom = 8, tms = TRUE)) %>%
   addPolygons(data = gadmCHE, popup = popupTable(gadmCHE),
               label = row.names(gadmCHE)) %>%
   addHomeButton(extent(gadmCHE), layer.name = "gadmCHE") %>%
   addMouseCoordinates() %>%
   addScaleBar(position = "bottomleft")

or simply

leaflet() %>%
   addTiles(urlTemplate = 'http://localhost:8000/tiles8/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
            options = tileOptions(minZoom = 2, maxZoom = 8, tms = TRUE)) +
   gadmCHE

which will mimic mapview feel and look even more.

If, on the other hand, you need to either plot often using your custom 
tiles or need mapview to first set up your map, then no, this is 
currently not possible. This can, however be made possible but for that 
I would ask you to please file a feature request at
