React-map-gl and deck.gl plot bounds

I was just wondering what the plotting bounds are for react-map-gl and deck.gl is, im trying to plot coordinates e.g. [90,20] and it doesnt plot on the map. Im simply using an icon layer and a staticmap.

Solution

  • Latitude should, in reality, be max 90 and min -90. This is not the case it is more around -87 to 87, though this does plot an icon off map but it is visible, -85 to 85 is on map bounds.

    Longitude is infinite, this spans the entire globe horizontally therefore is infinite.

    **Edit

    At the time of using react-map-gl and deck.gl I could plot longitudes of 300, therefore in theory due to coding this would make the longitude limits infinite. In reality we all know the real limits of lat are 90 - -90 and 180 -180.
