Can someone confirm this? Do you need an actual Mapbox token to even run an offline map from data you've downloaded off of, say, Maptiler?

We make a competitor to MapboxGL for mobile called WhirlyGlobe-Maply ( https://mousebird.github.io/WhirlyGlobe/ ). It supports vector tiles & Mapbox style sheets, works on Android …

This is a tutorial I put together for OpenGL ES 2.0 addressing a few things I run into displaying geospatial data (maps, globes).

The latest version of our open source library for iOS is out. WhirlyGlobe-Maply is a 3D spinny globe and an interactive 2D map. We're always looking for new users to do cool stuff …
