This example shows custom-styled navigation controls for a Mapbox GL map, replacing the default icons with 30x30 SVG graphics for zoom in, zoom out, compass, and fullscreen actions. The code uses Mapbox GL JS’s `NavigationControl` and `FullscreenControl` APIs to position the buttons in the top-right and bottom-right corners. It embeds optimized SVG data URIs directly into CSS classes like `.mapboxgl-ctrl-zoom-in` and `.mapboxgl-ctrl-compass-arrow`, overriding default backgrounds with `!important`. The icons are created in Sketch, exported to SVG, and optimized before being compressed into CSS background images.

04: Custom Map Controls

This example demonstrates a map with two toggleable layers—hexbins and crash points—overlaid on a Mapbox GL base map. The hexbins are generated from a GeoJSON dataset of NYC crashes using Turf.js to create a hex grid and count incidents per cell, colored with a Jenks natural breaks classification. Custom UI buttons let users toggle each layer on and off, with active states highlighted. The code also shows how to filter invalid geometries and style layers dynamically.

Gist 6b515fcc2b7c6479d9c31059140eb611

This example displays a full-screen interactive map of the contiguous United States, centered on the country’s geographic midpoint using Mapbox GL JS. The map uses a custom Mapbox style and includes a navigation control for zoom and rotation. The viewport is constrained to the bounding box spanning from the Southwest to the Northeast corners of the lower 48 states. The code sets an initial zoom level and center coordinates derived from that bounding box, but does not load or visualize any external data layers.

Lots of points in Mapbox Basemap - Test

This example demonstrates a Mapbox GL map with a tilted and rotated view centered on the New York City area. It shows how the map’s basemap style can be dynamically switched via a custom control panel overlaid on the map. The page uses the Mapbox GL JS API to initialize the map with a specific style, pitch, bearing, and zoom level, while the `switchLayer` function updates the map’s style based on user input. A transparent title box with radio buttons allows selection among different style layers, and the Navigation control adds zoom and rotation controls.

A basic map with MapboxGL.js

This example displays an interactive map centered on Amsterdam, featuring a tilted and rotated view of the city with MapboxGL.js. The map uses the Mapbox streets style, with zoom, pitch, and bearing set to create a perspective view. The code loads the mapbox-gl.js library and its associated CSS, then initializes a `mapboxgl.Map` instance on a container div, adding a navigation control. It relies on a hardcoded Mapbox access token to fetch tile data from the Mapbox service, showing how to embed a basic map with custom camera settings.

MB zoom circles in and out

This example demonstrates a zoomable map interface where clicking a circle smoothly scales and pans the view to center on that circle, with a reset option to return to the initial state. It uses D3 v4 with SVG rendering and animation, relying on `d3.zoom` and `d3.zoomIdentity` for transform handling and `transition.call(zoom.transform)` for the animated effect. The data is a static array of circle objects with coordinates, radius, and colors, while a topojson feature layer provides the underlying map context. The background rectangle enables click-to-reset functionality, and strokes adjust dynamically based on zoom scale.

This example displays a Mapbox GL JS map centered on Houston, Texas, at zoom level 10, with a set of airfield-style symbol markers plotted over a custom vector tile source. The visualization uses `map.addSource` to load a hosted vector tileset containing school location data and `map.addLayer` to render those points as icons via the `symbol` layer type. A collapsible overlay panel and a menu for switching map views are included, though the menu’s active state and overlay content are not populated in the provided code. The map style is a custom Mapbox style URL.

CartoDB Workshop | CartoDB.js

This example uses CartoDB.js to display an interactive map inside a full-screen div. The code initializes a map with a single custom overlay button labeled “Do Something,” which sits in the top-right corner and changes its background on hover. The map itself is rendered using the CartoDB library’s tile layers, while the button is styled with the included cartodb-infobox CSS class. The JavaScript structure defines a main function tied to the window load event, though no map layers or data sources are explicitly loaded in the provided snippet.

h3 Hexagon Basemap

This example displays a Mapbox GL-based interactive map of the United States, centered on the continental bounds with zoom controls. It shows a blank basemap initially, but the code includes a `zoomend` event listener, suggesting the map updates dynamically on zoom changes. The map uses Mapbox GL JS v1.3.1 and a custom Mapbox style, with a bounding box defined by southwest and northeast coordinates. Navigation controls are added, and the map is rendered in a full-screen container. The data source is a Mapbox-hosted style, and the interaction is handled through Mapbox’s API.
