Having the ability to use retina tiles when the device supports them is easy.
When creating the map, use the detectRetina
to verify if retina is available
and retinaVersion
to use a tilelayer which is designed for retina screens.
var map = L.mapbox.map('map', 'your.mapid', {
tileLayer: {
detectRetina: true,
retinaVersion: 'your.mapid'
}
}).setView([40, -74.50], 9);
Some Mapbox maps support switching to retina scale automatically: if you're using
one of these maps, you can simply set detectRetina
and the higher-scale
tiles will be used when retina is detected.
var map = L.mapbox.map('map', 'your.mapid', {
tileLayer: {
detectRetina: true
}
}).setView([40, -74.50], 9);
