I\'m in the process of converting a map from using mapbox.js to mapbox-gl.js, and am having trouble drawing a circle that uses miles or met

    Lucas and fphilipe answers works perfectly ! For those working with react-native-mapbox and drawing over the map you must take into account the pixel density of the screen as follow :

      pixelValue(latitude: number, meters: number, zoomLevel: number) {
        const mapPixels = meters / (78271.484 / 2 ** zoomLevel) / Math.cos((latitude * Math.PI) / 180);
        const screenPixel = mapPixels * Math.floor(PixelRatio.get());
        return screenPixel;
      }

    I've solved this problem for my use cases by using a GeoJSON polygon. It's not strictly a circle but by increasing the number of sides on the polygon you can get pretty close.

    The added benefit to this method is that it will correctly change its pitch, size, bearing, etc with the map automatically.

    Here is the function to generate the GeoJSON Polygon

    var createGeoJSONCircle = function(center, radiusInKm, points) {
        if(!points) points = 64;
    
        var coords = {
            latitude: center[1],
            longitude: center[0]
        };
    
        var km = radiusInKm;
    
        var ret = [];
        var distanceX = km/(111.320*Math.cos(coords.latitude*Math.PI/180));
        var distanceY = km/110.574;
    
        var theta, x, y;
        for(var i=0; i<points; i++) {
            theta = (i/points)*(2*Math.PI);
            x = distanceX*Math.cos(theta);
            y = distanceY*Math.sin(theta);
    
            ret.push([coords.longitude+x, coords.latitude+y]);
        }
        ret.push(ret[0]);
    
        return {
            "type": "geojson",
            "data": {
                "type": "FeatureCollection",
                "features": [{
                    "type": "Feature",
                    "geometry": {
                        "type": "Polygon",
                        "coordinates": [ret]
                    }
                }]
            }
        };
    };
    

    You can use it like this:

    map.addSource("polygon", createGeoJSONCircle([-93.6248586, 41.58527859], 0.5));
    
    map.addLayer({
        "id": "polygon",
        "type": "fill",
        "source": "polygon",
        "layout": {},
        "paint": {
            "fill-color": "blue",
            "fill-opacity": 0.6
        }
    });
    

    If you need to update the circle you created later you can do it like this (note the need to grab the data property to pass to setData):

    map.getSource('polygon').setData(createGeoJSONCircle([-93.6248586, 41.58527859], 1).data);
    

    And the output looks like this:

    This functionality is not built into GL JS but you can emulate it using functions.

    Important Caveats:

    • Determining the function parameters for a particular real-world measurement isn't straightforward. They change with the longitude / latitude of the feature.
    • Circles larger than 1024px aren't going to render properly due to the nature of tiled data and the way we pack data for WebGL

    Elaborating on Lucas' answer, I've come up with a way of estimating the parameters in order to draw a circle based on a certain metric size.

    The map supports zoom levels between 0 and 20. Let's say we define the radius as follows:

    "circle-radius": {
      stops: [
        [0, 0],
        [20, RADIUS]
      ],
      base: 2
    }
    

    The map is going to render the circle at all zoom levels since we defined a value for the smallest zoom level (0) and the largest (20). For all zoom levels in between it results in a radius of (approximately) RADIUS/2^(20-zoom). Thus, if we set RADIUS to the correct pixel size that matches our metric value, we get the correct radius for all zoom levels.

    So we're basically after a conversion factor that transforms meters to a pixel size at zoom level 20. Of course this factor depends on the latitude. If we measure the length of a horizontal line at the equator at the max zoom level 20 and divide by the number of pixels that this line spans, we get a factor ~0.075m/px (meters per pixel). Applying the mercator latitude scaling factor of 1 / cos(phi), we obtain the correct meter to pixel ratio for any latitude:

    const metersToPixelsAtMaxZoom = (meters, latitude) =>
      meters / 0.075 / Math.cos(latitude * Math.PI / 180)
    

    Thus, setting RADIUS to metersToPixelsAtMaxZoom(radiusInMeters, latitude) gets us a circle with the correct size:

    "circle-radius": {
      stops: [
        [0, 0],
        [20, metersToPixelsAtMaxZoom(radiusInMeters, latitude)]
      ],
      base: 2
    }
