I want to use satellite-street map using tileset, but it is not available here. It is visible in style and dataset but not in tileset. I want to use mapID, not styleID.
How to get satellite-street map in tileset in Mapbox. It is available in styles and dataset but not in tileset. Any Help?
The raster tileset with the map ID satellite-streets would've been a composite of the satellite source (mapbox.satellite) and Mapbox Streets source (mapbox.streets). These tilesets were created as raster tiles using Mapbox Studio Classic and are no longer supported. Instead, it's recommended to create your own style with Mapbox Satellite and Streets sources and use the Static Tiles endpoint to generate raster tiles.

I have a GeoTiff file taken by a drone and I want to add it as a layer on my map using .addSource() and it doesn't seem to work.
mapboxMap.addSource("satellite", {
type: "raster",
url: "http://localhost:3000/images/satellite.tif",
});
Is uploading to Mapbox the only way to implement a GeoTiff to my Map?
The .png I tested before worked fine, both files are in the public folder right now.
Thanks!
As the documentation says, the raster type is:
A raster tile source.
Note the tile bit.
If you want a non-tiled raster source, you want to use the image type. I'm not certain if Mapbox GL JS supports TIFF, and whether it supports GeoTIFF. You may need to provide the coordinates explicitly.
I am new to leaflet. currently I am working on leaflet to render vector tiles. my application's requirement is that on click i should get features from map tiles in geojson format.
In Mapbox map.queryRenderedFeatures(e.point). I want to do exact same thing, but in leaflet. Please check here to check how mapbox is fetching features.
Please help.
Current Leaflet implementation does not supports querying rendered features. Hence switching to Mapboxgl
In mapbox studio I have a lot of layers for customizations. Is there a way to access those layers programmatically with js. For example hide all WATER or ROAD layer on the map with js?
Thanks.
You can try using https://github.com/mapbox/vt2geojson to get geojson data for whichever layers you are interested in and then use this data and add styling using mapbox gl js maps.
Hope that answers your question.
I am a bit confused about Tiles in MapBox. As I understood, a tile is a little piece of map, as in a jigsaw puzzle.
MBTiles are images, but they are connected to a database to read data & let interactions be possible. So if I move the mouse, I can show details of the layers under the cursor.
Vector Tiles store all the data in vectors, and they are just used for a fast rendering of the image. Interaction with such data is not possible.
Am I wrong?
Now, I see that there is the tool TileMill for MBTiles, and MapBox Studio Classic for Vector Tiles. I guess they are for different purposes; the first for interactive maps, the latter for fast rendering.
So.... why is TileMill not supported anymore, in favor of MBStudio?
Is it possible to make interactive maps with MBStudio as well?
Thank you
This is a great question!
mbtile is a filetype that can contain either raster or vector tiles. Think about it like an Adobe Illustrator .ai file -- it can either contain vector or raster data. Both raster tiles and vector tiles can be in mbtile format.
With TileMill, your vector data (shapefile, CSV, etc.) was combined with your CartoCSS style and passed to Mapnik to generate a bunch of tiled images. You could then store your tiles and feed them to a web map via a tile server. With Mapbox Studio Classic, you are converting your data to vector tiles and creating a CartoCSS style to style the data, but the image tiles aren't created until the map is requested via the browser. Ultimately, the output on the map is the same -- a grid of raster tiles.
The interactivity you created in TileMill with raster tiles is happening via a UTFGrid. This is an invisible raster layer that sits beneath the image tiles and adds interactivity to certain locations. The interactivity is not actually connected to any individual features at all -- it's just at the same location as your features. This is also possible in Mapbox Studio Classic, as the output in the map will also be a grid of raster tiles. You can read more about how to do this in Mapbox Studio Classic in the style quickstart guide.
So to answer your question, the move to Mapbox Studio Classic was to take advantage of vector tiles. They are a lot smaller than raster image tiles, and they can be styled on the fly, so, for example, you don't have to store two separate sets of images to accommodate retina screens. It also means you can have multiple styles applied to the same vector data on the fly, which means you don't have to regenerate a whole set of images for every style or every small change.
If the Metadata table contains a record format=pbf then the mbtiles is a vector tiles and not raster. mbtiles SQLite database can be a container for vector tiles which have in the Tiles table and tile_data blob field PBF -Protocol Buffers - protobuf ( https://github.com/google/protobuf – language neutral platform neutral mechasism for serializing structured data) Developed by Google. Tools like MapBox Studio build vector tiles from GIS Vector Data and databases
I am using Mapbox and Leaflet to visualize a world map.
The map tile is based on the MapBox tiles that you can find and style upon creating MapBox project.
I tried to load the geometries of world countries from Natural Earth with the most accurate scale 1:10m million but I found out that a geojson border of Morocco for example is not matching the the border of Morocco in the MapBox baseline.
So where exactly I can find the geojson border of world countries that matches MapBox tile?
Natural Earth is used at lower zoom levels, at some point it switches to more detailed OSM data from http://openstreetmapdata.com/data.
Hope that helps.
