The Mapbox Map component for Retool Apps

A content area to embed a map with custom locations.

An embedded map using MapBox to display latitude and longitude coordinates as points of interest. It supports custom markers using Emoji and symbols, default coordinates and zoom level, and GeoJSON to render custom shapes for highlighting locations.

Mapbox Map can trigger queries when panning or zooming the map, and on hover start or end for points.
