Animate a Marker

Animate a marker’s position using setLngLat on each animation frame.

const API_KEY = 'toursprung';

    const center = [11.39085, 47.27574];
    const radius = 0.05;

    const map = new maptoolkit.Map({
        container: 'map',
        style: `https://static.maptoolkit.net/styles/toursprung/terrain.json?api_key=${API_KEY}`,
        center,
        zoom: 11,
        attributionControl: { compact: false }
    });

    map.addControl(new maptoolkit.NavigationControl(), 'top-right');

    const marker = new maptoolkit.Marker({ color: '#ee8a65' })
        .setLngLat(center)
        .addTo(map);

    function animate(timestamp) {
        const t = (timestamp / 4000) % 1;
        const angle = t * 2 * Math.PI;
        marker.setLngLat([
            center[0] + radius * Math.cos(angle) / Math.cos(center[1] * Math.PI / 180),
            center[1] + radius * Math.sin(angle)
        ]);
        requestAnimationFrame(animate);
    }
    requestAnimationFrame(animate);
