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.

See attached image, I have a Mapbox map and a marker that is "centred in the map", what I want is the marker's point to be at the centre (where the red arrow is) and not the middle of the marker.
the marker is Mapbox, setting the lng lat is Mapbox, getting the centre of the map is Mapbox, does anyone know if Mapbox construct the marker in such a way where the end point is the middle?
if not, is there a way to adjust ?
thanks
Martin
for anyone else needing this information
1)
mapbox allows the markers centre to be set when you add the marker, so you can say the centre is top, bottom, centre etc etc
2)
out of the box the mapbox markers are centred in the correct place using "centre". proved this by debugging the GPS from mapbox and comparing to google maps lng,lat and then using every setting to see which one was exactly the same mapping
I'm using mapbox studio to customize a map and I haven't found the way to display building-outline layer at any zoom level.
If I'm under of 16 zoom level, this layer disappears... even if I force opacity to 1.
Any idea ?
Thank you in advance
The minimum zoom level for the buildings layer in the current tileset (Mapbox Streets v8) is 13.
This means that if you zoom out further (from 12 to 0) the buildings layer will not be rendered on the map.
See documentation:
https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/reference/mapbox-streets-v8/#layer-reference
The reason for this restriction is that if you requested your browser to fetch and render every building polygon in a wider area (like an entire city or country), this would be more than a reasonable amount of data to render.
If you have your own buildings polygon data and you create a tileset from that, you could choose to include your data across more zoom levels. However, you might waste a lot of computing resources drawing shapes that are too tiny to understand at those further zoom levels.
I'm filtering on the 'poi-label' layer on the default Mapbox Streets V8 data source. What I'd like to have is that certain maki or class labels like 'fitness-centere' to always be visible (both icon and label) regardless of the zoom level.
I see no clear documentation on how to do this using Mapbox studio. Can it be done in that tool?
It is generally not possible to have layers in vector tile sources display at "all zoom levels" because they don't exist at all zoom levels within the vector tile sources.
Generally, the Mapbox tilesets are heavily optimised and only include data at the zoom levels that they are intended to display at in the corresponding Mapbox styles.
OpenStreetMap by default show significant amount of details with regional language labels. I am using leaflet in a scenario that I only need country borders, their names and a few markers on the map. Is there a provider available for leaflet that shows only countries?
I was also wondering if these maps can be rendered by svg tiles instead of images.
I'm using Leaflet and MapBox. I need to develop an api which will show certain city points with labels, and accordingly draw routes between them. I have BlueMarble tiles till certain zoom, and then MapBox Streets. What is the best way to realize that idea? Are circles and paths the best option? Thank you.
I am not sure that you need to create an API for what you want to do.

In the Leaflet tutorials it shows you how to create LineStrings and Points from GeoJson data. So with latitude and longitude coordinates for the Cities you can create Points and use LineStrings to create the routes and add a them as a GeoJson Layer to the map.
