download_basemap from Stamen no longer working

[ohueppop]

Trying to download a basemap from Stamen by bm <- download_basemap(ppi) results in error "Could not resolve host: tile.stamen.com".
The reason is the recent Stamen migration to Stadia Maps (see dkahle/ggmap#351).
Any ideas how to solve this?

@ohueppop in the latest release we switched to ggspatial for OSM basemaps as ggmap now requires API keys to access Stamen maps. The basemap download now happens on the fly (then locally cached):

ppi <- project_as_ppi(example_scan)
basemap <- rosm::osm.types()[1]
map(ppi, map = basemap, param = "VRADH")

the basemap options from rosm are:

 rosm::osm.types()
 [1] "osm"                    "opencycle"             
 [3] "hotstyle"               "loviniahike"           
 [5] "loviniacycle"           "stamenbw"              
 [7] "stamenwatercolor"       "osmtransport"          
 [9] "thunderforestlandscape" "thunderforestoutdoors" 
[11] "cartodark"              "cartolight" 

for a full example:

Thank you @iskandari. This works perfectly with the latest release. However, I regret that the nice old Stamen maps (e.g. those without labels) can no longer be used and now require an API key.
