What is the problem or goal the end user is trying to solve or accomplish?
The user wants to use a custom Mapbox Studio style (e.g., with a floorplan image or a building-specific overlay) as the basemap in a deck.gl scatterplot chart in Preset. This is critical for precise spatial context in non-standard environments like buildings or campuses.
How are they solving it currently?
Currently, the “Map Style” dropdown in Preset only allows a fixed set of Mapbox default styles (Light, Dark, Streets, etc.). These use Mapbox’s legacy "classic" styles under the hood, and while they still work, they cannot be modified or extended. There is no way to input a custom Mapbox style URL (e.g., mapbox://styles/<username>/<style_id>) or an external style endpoint.
What is the recommended solution by the Customer?
Add support for user-defined/custom Mapbox style URLs in the “Map Style” control within deck.gl-based charts. This could be a new input field (alongside the dropdown) or an override field. Ideally, this would allow users to:
Paste in their own mapbox://styles/... or https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/... URL
Render custom tilesets (e.g., building floorplans, site maps, campus layouts)
Integrate Mapbox Studio styles dynamically
This feature would empower users to visualize data in highly customized spatial contexts beyond the limited built-in styles.
