Description
It would be nice to be able to display 2 maps on top of each other. One in the background and a smaller one on top of it in one of the corners.
Basically what is demonstrated here https://labs.mapbox.com/bites/00359/
In the demonstration both maps are rendered into their own canvas though.
I wonder if there is a way to composite both maps into one canvas using WebGL viewports?

Research direction
Start with the linked Mapbox demo and the provided screenshot, then investigate the feasibility of rendering two maps into one canvas using WebGL viewports. Done means establishing whether this composition is supported and, if so, defining a workable implementation for a background map and a smaller corner map.
