Markers and controls

User interface elements that can be added to the map. The items in this section exist outside of the map's canvas element.

Marker

Creates a marker component

Extends Evented.
new Marker(options: Object?, legacyOptions: Options?)

Parameters

options(Object?)
NameDescription
options.element
HTMLElement?		DOM element to use as a marker. The default is a light blue, droplet-shaped SVG marker.
options.anchor
string
default: 'center'
A string indicating the part of the Marker that should be positioned closest to the coordinate set via Marker#setLngLat . Options are 'center' , 'top' , 'bottom' , 'left' , 'right' , 'top-left' , 'top-right' , 'bottom-left' , and 'bottom-right' .
options.offset
PointLike?		The offset in pixels as a PointLike object to apply relative to the element's center. Negatives indicate left and up.
options.color
string
default: '#3FB1CE'
The color to use for the default marker if options.element is not provided. The default is light blue.
options.scale
number
default: 1
The scale to use for the default marker if options.element is not provided. The default scale corresponds to a height of 41px and a width of 27px .
options.draggable
boolean
default: false
A boolean indicating whether or not a marker is able to be dragged to a new position on the map.
options.rotation
number
default: 0
The rotation angle of the marker in degrees, relative to its respective Marker#rotationAlignment setting. A positive value will rotate the marker clockwise.
options.pitchAlignment
string
default: 'auto'
map aligns the Marker to the plane of the map. viewport aligns the Marker to the plane of the viewport. auto automatically matches the value of rotationAlignment .
options.rotationAlignment
string
default: 'auto'
map aligns the Marker 's rotation relative to the map, maintaining a bearing as the map rotates. viewport aligns the Marker 's rotation relative to the viewport, agnostic to map rotations. auto is equivalent to viewport .
legacyOptions(Options?)

Example

Options are 'center' , 'top' , 'bottom' , 'left' , 'right' , 'top-left' , 'top-right' , 'bottom-left' , and 'bottom-right' . If unset the anchor will be dynamically set to ensure the popup falls within the map container with a preference for 'bottom' .
options.offset
(number | PointLike | Object)?		 A pixel offset applied to the popup's location specified as:
  • a single number specifying a distance from the popup's location
  • a PointLike specifying a constant offset
  • an object of Points specifing an offset for each anchor position Negative offsets indicate left and up.
options.className
string?		Space-separated CSS class names to add to popup container
options.maxWidth
string
default: '240px'
 A string that sets the CSS property of the popup's maximum width, eg '300px' . To ensure the popup resizes to fit its content, set this property to 'none' . Available values can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/max-width 
var markerHeight = 50, markerRadius = 10, linearOffset = 25;
var popupOffsets = {
'top': [0, 0],
'top-left': [0,0],
'top-right': [0,0],
'bottom': [0, -markerHeight],
'bottom-left': [linearOffset, (markerHeight - markerRadius + linearOffset) * -1],
'bottom-right': [-linearOffset, (markerHeight - markerRadius + linearOffset) * -1],
'left': [markerRadius, (markerHeight - markerRadius) * -1],
'right': [-markerRadius, (markerHeight - markerRadius) * -1]
};
var popup = new goongjs.Popup({offset: popupOffsets, className: 'my-class'})
.setLngLat(e.lngLat)
.setHTML("<h1>Hello World!</h1>")
.setMaxWidth("300px")
.addTo(map);

IControl

src/ui/map.js

Interface for interactive controls added to the map. This is a specification for implementers to model: it is not an exported method or class.

Controls must implement onAdd and onRemove, and must own an element, which is often a div element. To use Goong GL JS's default control styling, add the mapboxgl-ctrl class to your control's node.

Example

// Control implemented as ES6 class
class HelloWorldControl {
onAdd(map) {
this._map = map;
this._container = document.createElement('div');
this._container.className = 'mapboxgl-ctrl';
this._container.textContent = 'Hello, world';
return this._container;
}
 
onRemove() {
this._container.parentNode.removeChild(this._container);
this._map = undefined;
}
}
 
// Control implemented as ES5 prototypical class
function HelloWorldControl() { }
 
HelloWorldControl.prototype.onAdd = function(map) {
this._map = map;
this._container = document.createElement('div');
this._container.className = 'mapboxgl-ctrl';
this._container.textContent = 'Hello, world';
return this._container;
};
 
HelloWorldControl.prototype.onRemove = function () {
this._container.parentNode.removeChild(this._container);
this._map = undefined;
};

src/ui/control/navigation_control.js

A NavigationControl control contains zoom buttons and a compass.

new NavigationControl(options: Object?)
options(Object?)
NameDescription
options.showCompass
Boolean
default: true
If true the compass button is included.
options.showZoom
Boolean
default: true
If true the zoom-in and zoom-out buttons are included.
options.visualizePitch
Boolean
default: false
If true the pitch is visualized by rotating X-axis of compass. 
var nav = new goongjs.NavigationControl();
map.addControl(nav, 'top-left');

GeolocateControl

src/ui/control/geolocate_control.js

A GeolocateControl control provides a button that uses the browser's geolocation API to locate the user on the map.

Not all browsers support geolocation, and some users may disable the feature. Geolocation support for modern browsers including Chrome requires sites to be served over HTTPS. If geolocation support is not available, the GeolocateControl will not be visible.

The zoom level applied will depend on the accuracy of the geolocation provided by the device.

The GeolocateControl has two modes. If trackUserLocation is false (default) the control acts as a button, which when pressed will set the map's camera to target the user location. If the user moves, the map won't update. This is most suited for the desktop. If trackUserLocation is true the control acts as a toggle button that when active the user's location is actively monitored for changes. In this mode the GeolocateControl has three states:

  • active - the map's camera automatically updates as the user's location changes, keeping the location dot in the center.
  • passive - the user's location dot automatically updates, but the map's camera does not.
  • disabled
Extends Evented.
new GeolocateControl(options: Object?)

Parameters

options(Object?)
NameDescription
options.positionOptions
Object
default: {enableHighAccuracy:false,timeout:6000}
A Geolocation API PositionOptions object.
options.fitBoundsOptions
Object
default: {maxZoom:15}
A fitBounds options object to use when the map is panned and zoomed to the user's location. The default is to use a maxZoom of 15 to limit how far the map will zoom in for very accurate locations.
options.trackUserLocation
Object
default: false
If true the Geolocate Control becomes a toggle button and when active the map will receive updates to the user's location as it changes.
options.showUserLocation
Object
default: true
By default a dot will be shown on the map at the user's location. Set to false to disable.

Example

map.addControl(new goongjs.GeolocateControl({
positionOptions: {
enableHighAccuracy: true
},
trackUserLocation: true
}));
