1. Go to Site Admin (Legacy)> Plugins > Get More Plugins and install the Mapbox plugin.

2. Return to the Application and navigate: Site Admin › Maps & Geocoders and paste your JSON style URL in the map_id box (leave the other empty):

3. Click on Save.

4. Enable the map from Site Admin › Applications › Manage Applications › select your application -> click on section Maps and Geocoders.

5. Tick the MapBox and Save the changes. 

7. Select Mapbox as your map choice:

​

Now you can use your custom map on the application GUI.

Tip

If your tile map is particularly created for one specific region or area, to easily locate the map on the interface, type in the search box at the top-right: ...<lat>, <long> (note the 3 dots at the beginning, that should be included):

Additional notes

This method works for maptiler/openmaptiles and it might enable other vector-based maps that work similarly too. If you have feedback, please contact support for more information.
