MapBox Boilerplate

Built on Wax.js and Leaflet.js

This is boilerplate code that is intended as a starting point for new projects. Fork it and customize to your needs.
Wax and Leaflet libraries are included as submodules for easy maintenance/updates.
After forking and cloning the source, navigate to the root of the project and run the following lines to clone the submodules.

    git submodule init  
    git submodule update

Layer Switcher

Switchable layers defined in ul.layers in index.html
Inital layer li a should match var activelayer in app.js and have the attribute class="active"
Base layers, initial active layer, and static overlay layers are all defined in app.js

Tooltips

Tooltips appear on hover and display data from the MBTiles source through the Leaflet.js API

GeoJSON

Pulling GeoJSON data from js/museums.js, can be replaced with an AJAX call for live JSON data.
A custom marker icon is defined in js/app.js and uses img/museum-24.png
Markers are clickable, and display popups with descriptions from the GeoJSON source
