Mapbox spherical map

Is there a way to change the mapbox’s maps to be in a globe shape?

Hi @rasika the mapbox library only supports the Mercator projection, see https://docs.mapbox.com/help/how-mapbox-works/mapbox-data/#mapbox-map-projections. On the other hand other plotly map functions support multiple types of projections, for example https://plot.ly/python-api-reference/generated/plotly.express.scatter_geo.html

Hi @rasika,
