Sky and fog

To explore immersive details, users need to increase zoom and pitch of the map. With a large map pitch, users can see the sky and fog on the horizon, which makes the map look more realistic. This section describes how to configure the maximum pitch of the map, sky color and fog color on the horizon.

Maximum pitch configuration

Maximum pitch of the map may be configured in two ways:

• setting the maxPitch map option
• calling the setMaxPitch map method

Recommended value: less than 70 degrees.
Maximum pitch of the map is limited on small zooms (zoom < 16.5) to 45 degrees by default, also it is limited with maxPitch. You can control that limit in two ways:

• setting the lowZoomMaxPitch map option
• calling the setLowZoomMaxPitch map method

Recommended value: 45 degrees.
