MapView Class (Experimental)

The [MapView] class is a subclass of View. This viewport creates a geospatial "camera" that looks at a position on a map from a certain direction.

To render, MapView needs to be used together with a viewState with the following parameters:

• longitude (Number) - longitude at the map center
• latitude (Number) - latitude at the map center
• zoom (Number) - zoom level
• pitch (Number, optional) - pitch angle in degrees. Default 0.
• bearing (Number, optional) - bearing angle in degrees. Default 0.
• maxZoom (Number, optional) - max zoom level. Default 20.
• minZoom (Number, optional) - min zoom level. Default 0.
• maxPitch (Number, optional) - max pitch angle. Default 60.
• minPitch (Number, optional) - min pitch angle. Default 0.

For more information on using View classes, consult the Views article.

The default controller of a MapView is MapController.

Constructor

const view = new MapView({...});

MapView takes the same parameters as the View superclass constructor.

Remarks

• In the React library, MapView support automatic synchronization with base maps components. See DeckGL
