Map: change default basemap

[slibby]

The current default basemap (MapQuest) is fine for regional-level info but I feel we should change the overall basemap to OSM's tiles instead - much more detail at the scales we're working at.

Are there preferences about using humanitarian OSM cartography vs the normal OSM tiles?

I'd prefer to use Humanitarian OSM since it generally does a better job of displaying relevant Points of Interest (different icons, labels, etc.).

See http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/6.31297/-10.80941 vs http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/6.31297/-10.80941&layers=H

I added the code block from GeoNode/geonode#1286 to add Humanitarian OSM as a basemap and can't get it to display in MapLoom.

I've added it to all of the following 3 locations and restarted Apache:

geonode/geonode/settings.py
/etc/geonode/local_settings.py
ebolageonode/ebolageonode/local_settings.py

It still won't display in MapLoom. Am I missing a step? Or is this a bug?
