Add Third Party base map tiles addProviderTiles()

We add Third Party base map tiles using addProviderTiles() function.

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles(provider = "CartoDB.Positron")

# Following could also be used if you do not want to use the %>% pipe operator
# m = leaflet()
# m = addProviderTiles(map=m, provider = "CartoDB.Positron")
# m

2 or more base map tiles could be used together. We will see more on this later during layer control.

leaflet() %>% 
  addProviderTiles("Stamen.Watercolor") %>% 
  addProviderTiles("Stamen.TonerHybrid")

Few other examples of the third party map tiles as well as follows for quick reference:

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("Esri.WorldImagery")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("Thunderforest.Landscape")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("Stamen.Toner")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("Stamen.Watercolor")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("HikeBike.HikeBike")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("OpenWeatherMap.Precipitation")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("MtbMap")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("NASAGIBS.ModisTerraTrueColorCR")

leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles("NASAGIBS.ModisTerraTrueColorCR", options=providerTileOptions(time = "2015-12-10", opacity = 0.5))

leaflet()%>% addProviderTiles("MtbMap") %>%
  addProviderTiles("Stamen.TonerLines",
    options = providerTileOptions(opacity = 0.35)
  ) %>%
  addProviderTiles("Stamen.TonerLabels")
