# Using a Custom Mapbox MapStyle

MapsIndoors as default uses a custom Mapbox MapStyle to access certain features on the Mapbox map.

You can create your own custom style in [Mapbox Studio](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-studio) and have MapsIndoors use that instead of the default used by MapsIndoors.

You will need to initialise Mapbox with your custom Mapbox MapStyle and disable the default MapsIndoors is using.

Below are examples of how to do that in the various SDKs.

### Web Javascript SDK

```javascript
const mapView = new mapsindoors.mapView.MapboxV3View({
   ...,
    style: "URI_TO_YOUR_CUSTOM_STYLE"
});
```

### Android SDK

{% hint style="warning" %}
This requires using Mapbox 11, i.e. you will need to use the MapsIndoors dependency `com.mapspeople.mapsindoors:mapbox-v11` in your `build.gradle` file.
{% endhint %}

```kotlin
mMap.loadStyle("URI_TO_YOUR_CUSTOM_STYLE")
val mapConfig = MPMapConfig.Builder(
    requireActivity(),
    mMap,
    mMapView,
    getString(R.string.mapbox_api_key),
    false
).build()
MapControl.create(mapConfig) {mc, error ->
    if (error != null) {
        // Handle error
    } else {
        mMapControl = mc
    }
}
```

### iOS SDK

{% hint style="warning" %}
This requires using Mapbox 11, i.e. you will need to use the Swift Package Manager distribution of the MapsIndoors iOS SDK or specify the `MapsIndoorsMapbox11` pod in your `Podfile`.
{% endhint %}

```swift
self.mapView.mapboxMap.loadStyle("URI_TO_YOUR_CUSTOM_STYLE") { _ in
    Task {
        do {
            try await MPMapsIndoors.shared.load(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")
            let mapConfig = MPMapConfig(mapBoxView: self.mapView, accessToken: "1234")
            mapConfig.useMapsIndoorsStyle(value: false)
            self.mapControl = MPMapsIndoors.createMapControl(mapConfig: mapConfig)
        }
    }
}
```

### Flutter Plugin

```dart
mapController = MapsIndoorsWidget(
    useDefaultMapsIndoorsStyle: false,
    mapStyleUri: "URI_TO_YOUR_CUSTOM_STYLE",
)
```

### React Native Module

```javascript
const createMapControl = async () => {
   //Set useDefaultMapsIndoorsStyle to false when creating the MPMapConfig
   let config = new MPMapConfig({useDefaultMapsIndoorsStyle: false});
   const mc = await MapControl.create(config, NativeEventEmitter);
}

//Set the MapboxMapStyle when creating the view
<MapView
    style={{
        width: Dimensions.get('window').width,
        height: Dimensions.get('window').height
    }}
    mapboxMapStyle={'URI_TO_YOUR_CUSTOM_STYLE'}
/>
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.mapsindoors.com/other/map-design/using-a-custom-mapbox-mapstyle.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
