Hide map navigation controls

This tutorial shows how to hide the navigation control on the map, specifically the zoom and rotation controls.

By default the navigation control is activated and added to the map.

1. Copy the following code, paste it into your favorite text editor, and save it as a .html file.

2. Install the npm package.

3. Include the CSS file.

   If you have a bundler that can handle CSS, you can import the CSS or include it with a <link> in the head of the document via the CDN

4. Include the following code in your JavaScript file (Example: app.js).

5. Replace YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE with your actual MapTiler API key.

6. The next is up to you. You can center your map wherever you desire (modifying the starting position) and set an appropriate zoom level (modifying the starting zoom) to match your users’ needs. Additionally, you can change the map’s look (by updating the source URL); choose from a range of visually appealing map styles from our extensive MapTiler standard maps, or create your own to truly differentiate your application.

7. To hide the control and remove it from the map, all you have to do is indicate it in the map builder options.
