3DmapsDjango

Adding maps to your Django apps. The following steps will guide you through on how to add maps to your django projects. Along with, displaying 3D buildings. I have used Mapbox api for this project.

Sign-up for Mapbox

Head to the Mapbox. Click on "Get started". Sign up for a free account. Once you have signed in, Click the "JS Web" option. Then, choose "Use the Mapbox CDN" to install Mapbox GL JS. Once you have done that you will be provided with a access token, like this one "pk.eyJ1IjoIcGVuh29veCIsImEiOiJjampHNshreDkwbGZ5M3BxbXZkdDQ0dGdpIn1.-36WPGfz6NY90m3trPkNyw".
