Geocoding limit results by a drawn area
To ensure that search results are limited to the specific area drawn on the map, utilize the geocode control’s
bbox
(bounding box) feature. By drawing a polygon on the map, you can filter the search results to only include data within the bounds of the polygon. For a comprehensive list of geocoding control options, refer to the
Geocoding control’s reference documentation
.
In this example, we use the
mapbox-gl-draw-rectangle-restrict-area
plugin to draw rectangles on the map.
Click outside the rectangle when you draw the final vertex to complete the polygon.
