Change a map's style

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.
