    Provider for MapBox

    I really like your implementation for GoogleMaps. Any change you are (thinking about) supporting MapBox as a map type in the near future?

    Hi Marcelh

    MapBox has two very different methods to render maps in a web browser:-

    1. Using Leaflet
    2. Using MapBox GL

    MapBox GL is a vastly better raster based system, unlike how others render maps; which is tile based like GMap, Bing or Leaflet.

    I would only write a MapBox GL provider, if like ArcGIS and CartoDB, there was a commercial reason to do so.

    In regard to Leaflet: While it could be possible to add MapBox to the existing TileServer list so that the existing Leaflet provider in Terratype could use MapBox, this is not something I've had time to investigate, nor do I have plans. Though if someone provided a PR which added MapBox tileservers to the list, I would not hesitate to include.

    Hope this helps

    Jonathan

    Hey Jonathan! Thanks for responding. I wasn't aware of the differences on how maps are rendered. From what I've read and understand so far, our customer needs a MapBox GL interface to include overlays for sold and available lots (building sites). We'll see how this evolves...
