MapQuest-GL.js

Getting Started

MapQuest-GL.js is a JavaScript library for interactive maps, geocoding, directions, and traffic. MapQuest-GL.js is powered by the MapQuest APIs.

To get started, first include MapQuest-GL.js and MapQuest.css in your HTML header.

<script src="https://api.mqcdn.com/sdk/mapquest-gl-js/v0.4.0/mapquest-gl.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="https://api.mqcdn.com/sdk/mapquest-gl-js/v0.4.0/mapquest-gl.css"/>

Then define a MapQuest map object with your MapQuest key, with center, zoom, pitch, and bearing values.

var map = new mqgl.Map('map', 'KEY', {
  center: [-122.2082454,37.4780123],
  zoom: 13,
  pitch: 60,
  bearing: 0
});

map.load(function() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    map.map.flyTo({speed: 0.5, zoom: 15, pitch: 60, bearing: 180, center: [-122.3989808,37.7517676]})
  }, 2000);
});
