The package **mapview** in **R** allows one to generate interactive **html** (with JS) maps, i.e. ones that can be zoomed in and out, moved, shared with others, etcetera. Is there a good alternative in Julia? I’m aware of Leaflet.jl and Tyler.jl. The closest I see is Tyler.jl with WGLMakie.jl, but it does not appear to have the same range of features, like exporting to html. Is there anything else?

I am not familiar with mapview, but there are also Julia bindings for plotly.js: [GitHub - JuliaPlots/PlotlyJS.jl: Julia library for plotting with plotly.js](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotlyJS.jl)  
As far as I know there is both support for creating maps as well as saving as standalone html.
