Change a map's style

Additional Developer Resources

This example adds a clickable interface that enables a user to apply several different styles to the map.

When the user clicks a style name, it uses setStyle to redraw the map using the style URL associated with that option.

The map is centered at -2.81361, 36.77271 near El Ejido, Spain, an area known as the "Sea of Plastic" due to the many white-roofed greenhouses in the region, visible in the satellite imagery.

    const map = new mapboxgl.Map({

        // Choose from Mapbox's core styles, or make your own style with Mapbox Studio
        style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-streets-v12', // style URL
        center: [-2.81361, 36.77271], // starting position [lng, lat]
        zoom: 13 // starting zoom

    const layerList = document.getElementById('menu');
    const inputs = layerList.getElementsByTagName('input');

    for (const input of inputs) {
        input.onclick = (layer) => {
            const layerId = layer.target.id;

This code snippet will not work as expected until you replace YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN with an access token from your Mapbox account.
