Description

I am trying to draw a route on a `NavigationMapView` using `.showcase`, while coloring each route leg differently based on a specific logic. Imagine Google Maps when using public transport. Each leg of the route will be colored in a color matching the transportation mode. I am trying to do something similar using mapbox. After trying for a long time I have not found a way to reliably color legs differently. I could also not find a way to reliably color different routes differently, except for the difference between alternatives and main route.

Is there a way to do that currently? If not, can this be added in a future update? It seems so simple...

Research direction

Start by reviewing NavigationMapView and its .showcase route-rendering behavior, focusing on how route legs, alternatives, and the main route are represented. Determine whether per-leg and per-route colors are currently supported; done means documenting the existing limitation or specifying the API behavior needed for transportation-mode coloring.
