About this episode

Learn how to use Mapbox GL JS to build an interactive web map to help users find locations on the map. Our store locator tutorial uses retail locations, but your map can include any collection of locations, such as food banks or hospitals and health clinics. Madison Draper will code a new locator using the tutorial and answer live questions about the solution and tooling.
