You should also read the How Does It Work? page for a more generalised overview of the most important facts.
Unfortunately, this library cannot provide this functionality.
Raster tiles are pre-rendered by the tile server, and cannot be changed on the fly. Filters can be applied, such as an emulated dark mode, but these effects do not look great. This is a limitation of the technology, not this library.
However, tilesets can be styled. This is the most effective way of using custom styles. These methods may help you with this:
- You may wish to use a commercial service like Mapbox Studio, which allows you to style multiple tilesets. See Using Mapbox.
- Alternatively, you can experiment with vector tiles. These are not pre-rendered, and so allow any style you desire to be applied on the fly. See Vector Tiles.
It's possible to animate the movements made by a
MapController
, although this isn't implemented in this library.We're adding questions here as we get them!
