Does EpicMaps expose the underlying Mapbox GL JS instance or allow adding custom Mapbox sources/layers (specifically raster image overlays or GeoJSON layers)? Thanks!

Is it possible to disable map adjustments when scrolling? I know that this is generally a MapBox feature, but due to the way this is set up with the API, I am imagining that it might be managed inside of the ep!c script… …

I’ve set up a map that I’d like to combine goto + zoom on hovering over the trigger, has anyone done this before or know if it’s possible? The standard zoom feels quite zoomed out if you have locations spread out

You might be quite early on with v2.. but can’t find anywhere else to contact you. Also don’t know why I stupidly paid straight up without trying it out first, but here we are :laughing: I’m mainly here to chase a paym…

Hi, l’m loving the potential of Epic Maps so far and the integration with Finsweet. I currently am testing an implementation using Webflow tabs where the default tab is full page listings and the second tab is the Map v…
