Description

**mapbox-gl-js version**: 1.2.1

### Question

Is there a way to reuse mapbox loads?

My use case is an app where the pages are navigated via react router and 1 of the pages is a map. Currently I am creating a map each time the user visits the page but I'd like to be able to reuse loads + token uses if possible when navigating away from and back to the map page.

Sorry if duplicate issue -- I searched old issues and stackoverflow and couldn't find something very closely related

Thanks

Research direction

Start with the linked Map API documentation and the React Router map-page lifecycle described in the issue. Determine whether a Map instance and its loads can be reused when navigating away and back, and document the supported approach or the limitation clearly.
