User interaction (20)

Animate 3D buildings based on ambient sounds Disable map rotation Create a draggable Marker Create a draggable point Filter features within map view Filter symbols by text input Filter symbols by toggling a list Create a hover effect Display a non-interactive map Measure distances Get coordinates of the mouse pointer Highlight features containing similar data Select features around a clicked point Get features under the mouse pointer Restrict map panning to an area Create a time slider Toggle interactions Highlight features within a bounding box Fit to the bounds of a LineString Change a map's language

Animate map camera around a point Animate a point along a route Center the map on a clicked symbol Fit a map to a bounding box Slowly fly to a location Fly to a location Navigate the map with game-like controls Jump to a series of locations Play map locations as a slideshow Fly to a location based on scroll position Set pitch and bearing

Controls and overlays (17)

Animate a marker Change the default position for attribution Add custom icons with Markers Disable scroll zoom View a fullscreen map Locate the user Swipe between maps Display driving directions Show drawn polygon area Add a geocoder Add a marker using a place name Display map navigation controls Show polygon information on click Display a popup on click Display a popup on hover Display a popup Attach a popup to a marker instance

Supplement forward geocoding search results from another data source Limit geocoder results to a named region Supplement geocoding search results from another data source Place the geocoder input outside the map Bias geocoder results around the map view Set a point after Geocoder result
