# Other Options

## Other servers

There are plenty of other tile servers you can choose from, free or paid. Most provide a static tile service/API, usually called Static Tiles or just Tile Requests (if no vector tiles are supported).

A good catalogue of servers (usually called Providers elsewhere) can be found at the websites below:

{% embed url="<https://switch2osm.org/providers/>" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Google Maps does not document a static raster tile server. Therefore, flutter\_map is unable to show Google Maps.

*There is an undocumented endpoint available, however it violates the Google Maps Platform ToS.*

## Serving your own tiles

Switch2OSM also provides detailed instructions on how to serve your own tiles: this can be surprisingly economical and enjoyable if you don't mind a few hours in a Linux console.

However, this will require a very high-spec computer, especially for larger areas, and hosting this might be more complicated than it's worth. It's very difficult to fully understand the technologies involved.
