Maptoolkit is a map technology that provides developers with the ability to create customized maps for their web applications. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through how to create a simple map using the Terrain style from Maptoolkit and MapLibre GL JS.

Step 1: Set up your development environment

Before you can get started with Maptoolkit and MapLibre GL JS, you’ll need to set up your development environment. Make sure you have the latest version of MapLibre GL JS installed, and obtain a RapidAPI key.

Step 2: Create a new MapLibre map

To create a new MapLibre map, use the following code:

let map = new maplibregl.Map({
    container: 'map', // div element of the map
    style: 'https://static.maptoolkit.net/rapidapi/styles/terrain.json?rapidapi-key=your-api-key', // Our StyleURL
    center: [11.40037, 47.26816], // Center of the map
    zoom: 12, // Zoom level
});

This code creates a new map in the ‘map’ div element on your webpage, using the Maptoolkit Terrain style. Make sure to replace “your-api-key” with your actual API key.
