Description

I am using the rnmapbox/maps. I need to support multiple layer modes, and I hope that one of the modes is a whiteboard. I draw a series of LLA (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude) coordinate points on the whiteboard as required. If I switch to the satellite map layer, these coordinate points should also appear on the satellite map layer.

The problem I am facing now is how to implement the default whiteboard layer, which is an offline mode. In this mode, no map tile data will be retrieved, but I should be able to draw the LLA coordinate points.

I've made a lot of attempts and found that it's completely black, and I'm unable to draw the coordinate points. I understand that this is a relatively reasonable requirement, and I hope you can help me solve this problem. Thank you very much.

Research direction

The issue mentions rnmapbox/maps, LLA coordinate points, an offline whiteboard mode, and a satellite layer, but names no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by clarifying whether this requires a new map-rendering capability or usage guidance, then identify the relevant map, layer, and drawing APIs. Done criteria are not defined beyond displaying the points without retrieving map tiles.
