### Init

Parameter | Value | Default
| :------------ |:---------------| -----:|
| id | The ID of the element where the map will be rendered. | ```undefined```
| channels | An array of PubNub channels to subscribe to. Either ```channels``` or ```channelGroups``` must be supplied. | ```false```

| marker | A custom Mapbox marker object. Use this to change the marker icon, tooltip, etc. | L.marker |
| rotate | Add bearing to markers in ```options.angle```. This won't have any effect unless you're using [a rotated marker type](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/rotating-controlling-marker/). | ```false``` |
| message | A function to call everytime a PubNub message is recieved. See [PubNub subscribe](http://www.pubnub.com/docs/javascript/api/reference.html#subscribe) | ```function(message, timetoken, channel){}``` |
| transform | Method for changing the payload format of your stream. See [example](https://github.com/pubnub/eon-chart/blob/master/examples/transform.html)| ```function(m){return m}```

| googleMutant | Configure Google Maps Styles and Options as documented in [Google Mutant Plugin](https://gitlab.com/IvanSanchez/Leaflet.GridLayer.GoogleMutant#usage) | ```{ type: 'roadmap'}```

## Lat/Long Values

```eon.map``` expects an array of objects to be published on the same channel it's subscribed to. More on publishing in the next section.

For example, below you can find a list of all the Torchy's Tacos in Austin, TX.

```js
var torchys = [
{ latlng: [30.370375, -97.756138] },
{ latlng: [30.323118, -97.739144] },
{ latlng: [30.302816, -97.699490] },
{ latlng: [30.293479, -97.742405] },
{ latlng: [30.250337, -97.754593] },
{ latlng: [30.236689, -97.762730] }
];
```

## Publishing Messages

The function below is called ```connect``` and fires when the ```pubnub_mapbox``` library is ready.

This function uses the included PubNub library to pubnub.publish()
packets to the pubnub.subscribe() call waiting inside the
Mapbox framework.

Notice how the ```subscribeKey``` and ```channel```/```channels``` matches.

```js

function connect() {

var point = {
latlng: [37.370375, -97.756138]
};

var pn = new PubNub({
publishKey: 'YOUR_PUB_KEY', // replace with your own pub-key
subscribeKey: 'YOUR_SUB_KEY' // replace with your own sub-key
});

setInterval(function(){
var new_point = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(point));

new_point.latlng = [
new_point.latlng[0] + (getNonZeroRandomNumber() * 0.1),
new_point.latlng[1] + (getNonZeroRandomNumber() * 0.2)
];

pn.publish({
channel: channel,
message: [new_point] // even a single point should be an array
});

}, 500);

};

var map = eon.map({
pubnub: pn,
id: 'map',
mbToken: 'pk.eyJ1IjoiaWFuamVubmluZ3MiLCJhIjoiZExwb0p5WSJ9.XLi48h-NOyJOCJuu1-h-Jg',
mbId: 'ianjennings.l896mh2e',
channels: [channel],
connect: connect
});
```

You probably want to publish data from the back-end instead.
Check out our docs for more info:

http://www.pubnub.com/documentation/

## Following a Point

You can tell the map to follow a point to it's new location whenever data is received by supplying a ```message``` callback.

```js
var pn = new PubNub({
publishKey: 'YOUR_PUB_KEY', // replace with your own pub-key
subscribeKey: 'YOUR_SUB_KEY' // replace with your own sub-key
});

var map = eon.map({
pubnub: pn,
id: 'map',
mbId: 'ianjennings.l896mh2e',
//...
message: function (data) {
map.setView(data[3].latlng, 13);
}
});
```

## Marker Customization

You can supply a custom Mapbox marker object with custom tooltips by extening the ```L.marker``` object provided by mapbox. Learn more about custom markers [here](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/custom-marker/).

```html

L.RotatedMarker = L.Marker.extend({
options: { angle: 0 },
_setPos: function(pos) {
L.Marker.prototype._setPos.call(this, pos);
if (L.DomUtil.TRANSFORM) {
// use the CSS transform rule if available
this._icon.style[L.DomUtil.TRANSFORM] += ' rotate(' + this.options.angle + 'deg)';
} else if (L.Browser.ie) {
// fallback for IE6, IE7, IE8
var rad = this.options.angle * L.LatLng.DEG_TO_RAD,
costheta = Math.cos(rad),
sintheta = Math.sin(rad);
this._icon.style.filter += ' progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(sizingMethod=\'auto expand\', M11=' +
costheta + ', M12=' + (-sintheta) + ', M21=' + sintheta + ', M22=' + costheta + ')';
}
}
});

var pn = new PubNub({
publishKey: 'YOUR_PUB_KEY', // replace with your own pub-key
subscribeKey: 'YOUR_SUB_KEY' // replace with your own sub-key
});

var map = eon.map({
pubnub: pn,
id: 'map',
mbId: 'ianjennings.lec77m70',
mbToken: 'pk.eyJ1IjoiaWFuamVubmluZ3MiLCJhIjoiZExwb0p5WSJ9.XLi48h-NOyJOCJuu1-h-Jg',
channels: ['rutgers-bus-data'],
rotate: true,
history: true,
marker: function (latlng, data) {

var marker = new L.RotatedMarker(latlng, {
icon: L.icon({
iconUrl: 'http://i.imgur.com/2fmFQfN.png',
iconSize: [9, 32]
})
});

marker.bindPopup('Route ' + data.routeTag.toUpperCase());

return marker;

}
});

```

## Configure using your own PubNub API Keys
#### Using your own API Key with Eon Maps

You can set the `pubnub` init parameter when using Eon Maps. This allows you to configure PubNub client connections with extra security options such a `auth_key` and your `cipher_key`. You should also set `secure: true` and `ssl: true` as well.

```html

var pn = PUBNUB({
subscribeKey : 'YOUR_SUB_KEY',
ssl : true
});
var channel = 'my-map';
var map = eon.map({
pubnub: pn, // PubNub goes here
channels: channel,
id: 'map',
mbId 'mapbox.streets',
mbToken: 'pk.ey31IjoiaWRtc3giLCJhIjoiZZ1zMGI2ZjBlNTMxZjk5YTEwNjM5WNJlOWI4MmJiZGIifQ.U1jMQo2QVeuUtt85oD7hkQ'
});

```
## Kitchen Sink

Check out the ```bus.html``` and ```flight.html``` for full featured examples.

## Customizing with Mapbox

The MapBox map object is returned by ```eon.mapbox``` and can be customized using the [Mapbox API](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/api/v3.1.5/). Also see the [Mapbox examples page](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/).

Also note that you can customize your map using Mapbox map editor. You can change the map background style, add static markers, etc. Visit [Mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com/) for your own API key.

## Distributed Systems

The EON library compiles all messages at designated intervals. This means you can publish from multiple sources into one map. For example, you can map the individual locations of 3 phones by supplying the same channel to your PubNub publish requests. The [flight example](http://pubnub.com/developers/eon/map/flight/) works like this; not every flight is updated on every subscribe call.
