config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
const coordinates = document.getElementById('coordinates');
const map = new Map({
container: 'map',
style: MapStyle.STREETS,
center: [0, 0],
zoom: 2
});
const marker = new maptilersdk.Marker({
draggable: true
})
.setLngLat([0, 0])
.addTo(map);
function onDragEnd() {
const lngLat = marker.getLngLat();
coordinates.style.display = 'block';
coordinates.innerHTML =
'Longitude: ' + lngLat.lng + ' Latitude: ' + lngLat.lat;
}
marker.on('dragend', onDragEnd);
