How To Work With Mapbox Plugin

The other type of map you can add on your overlay is Mapbox. This map shows the satellite view of the constellation based on CID or addresses you input in the constellation on GoThru Moderator. With Mapbox, visitors can simply go point to point on the map and zoom in and out easily using the panel on the map or scroll wheel.

How to set up the Mapbox?

1. Click on the “+” button (or A key) to open the Plugin Manager then select Mapbox.

5. Round the map border using the border radius. Change the value or press the up arrow then overlay editor will automatically adjust all 4 corners at once.

6. Adjust the Mapbox size using map width and height sliders.

7. Set the Map Zoom. This function is unique to the Mapbox only and allows you to choose the map zoom level for the default first view.

8. Set the map colors. Common color sets the map colors to connect the colors in the general setting. Background color sets the color of the map background. You can also change the color of markers using the Marker color tool. Marker active color can be used to change the colors of the active marker.
