const map = new mapboxgl.Map({
    container: 'map', // ID of the element to hold the map
    style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11', // Style URL
    center: [-74.5, 40], // Starting position [lng, lat]
    zoom: 9 // Starting zoom level
});

// Add navigation control (the +/- zoom buttons)
map.addControl(new mapboxgl.NavigationControl());
