Description

Actually GlobeView doesn't work with MapLibre (and I suspect Mapbox eather), which actually states here that it works with MapView. But to make it clear we should add the folloding to GlobeView Limitations:

Only supports MapView

You are correct that GlobeView does not work with Mapbox/Maplibre. But I'm not following your suggestion for the documentation. GlobeView and MapView are mutually exclusive - you can use one or another. Why would you mention MapView in GlobeView documentation?

It wasn´t clear for me till now that using base maps like Mapbox/Maplibre is only supported in the MapView. I did understand the View concept like something you can use with any kind of layer. But after reading again documentation on Base Maps now this limitation seams clear. But maybe it could be stated clearly on that page, that Base Maps only work in MapView?

Ok, I think we could add a section in the base map pages about alternative projection modes.

Just FYI we are working to support Maplibre's globe projection. Mapbox remains out of scope.

Should that work together with GlobeView? Testing the new globe projection of [email protected] release together with deck.gl in GlobeView I see that coordinates don't concur... Where can I find documentation of that development?

Yes, that is the goal.

As I said, we are working on it.

Would anyone consider working on this (and https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/issues/9199) on a bounty/contract basis? We'd love to make the switch from ArcGIS, but need working GlobeView with rotation, panning, etc. We are willing to pay a dev to get full support for this working
