Part 1: Mapbox
- Log in to your Mapbox account and go to Studio.
- Create a new style based on Basic.
- Change the color of some polygons and lines.
- Change the font of some labels.
- Make buildings more transparent when zoomed out and less transparent when zoomed in.
- Experiment!
Part 2: Add a Mapbox style to Carto
- Publish your style from the previous part.
- Find the Carto URL as detailed in the slides, and copy it.
- Open a Carto map.
- Click on the basemap to change it, select Mapbox for the source, and enter the URL from Mapbox.
Part 3: Add your own layer
- Mapbox Basic also doesn't contain the borough boundaries. Let's add those now.
- Download today's data and unzip it. The zip file nybb.zip contains the borough boundaries shapefile.
- Add a new tileset in your Mapbox account and upload nybb.zip.
- Back in your style, add a new layer and select the borough boundaries tileset.
- Style the borough boundaries.
