Mapbox GL​

I loaded up the demo for Qatium and discovered that they're using Mapbox GL for their mapping.

Open source alternatives to Mapbox GL​

Mapbox GL Alternatives Mapbox GL Alternatives Table

  • MapLibre GL
  • Deck GL
  • ArcGIS maps SDK
  • OpenLayers

Obviously, we're already using Open Layers in most of our apps. However, it might be worth considering alternatives if they have better React JS support or out-of-the-box support for animations such as we see in Qatium's implementation.
