Summary
Looking at the roadmap, currently there appears to be no indication that Maps would allow for a custom tile source to be used. Admittedly, it doesn't specify any dependency on Google, Apple or Bing Maps, but I am basing this suggestion on the assumption that Maps in MAUI would build on existing Xamarin Forms implementations.
API Changes
It would be useful to be able to specify a tile source, or a provider, for a Map, whereby the developer can choose the tile source. Having a platform default would make sense, facilitating API keys for certain providers makes sense too; but we shouldn't be tied to using a specific provider or having to look for other solutions to give us that flexibility, especially when Google, for example, charge for access to their API (currently).
Intended Use Case
