Load a static placeholder map until Mapbox GL JS finishes rendering
Raw
README.md

This page has two maps of the exact same area: one fully interactive Mapbox GL JS map and a simple static map. The Mapbox GL JS map is hidden at the beginning and only the static map is visible. When the Mapbox GL JS map finishes its first full render (map.on('load',...)), it seamlessly replaces the static map.
