Basemap Style

The basemap controls the look and feel of your project, and also contains information. Giraffe uses Mapbox as the architecture for our mapping.

Mapbox styles contain graphics and information. Some styles have very little information, like roads and buildings only. Others have more, like points of interest.

Giraffe comes with 6 default map styles, and you can also add your own Mapbox style.
