Map

The map component contains all the map features. It has the following properties:

• center: The latitude and longitude of the center of the map. The center is an object like this:

  const GREENWICH_OBSERVATORY = {
      latitude: 51.47684676353231,
      longitude: -0.0005261695762532147,
  }

• zoom: The zoom is a number which specifies how "zoomed in" the map is. The farthest zoom is 0. For Open Street Maps the closest is 19.

• width: This is the displayed width of the map. It might be an absolute number like 600px or a relative value like 100%.

  The default value is 600px.

• height: This is the displayed height of the map. It might be an absolute number like 400px or a relative value like 100%.

  The default value is 600px.

• tileProvider: This is an object which provides the tiles for the tile layer, and also an attribution. Tile providers will be discussed later.

  If omitted the open street map tile provider will be used.

Movement around the map is achieved by changing the center and zoom properties. Some basic hooks are provider for this which will be discussed later.
