I wish to plot a simple map of some EU country and superpose dots and lines ; This is supposedly simple, but alas - it doesnt work for me .

```julia
# For plots
using Tyler
using GLMakie
using GeoMakie
using Tyler.TileProviders
using Tyler.MapTiles
using Tyler.Extents

#
long = [40.4483, 40.4079]
latt = [-3.88463, -3.90931]

# Start plotting 
GLMakie.activate!(inline=false)

# Création de la figure
fig = Figure(; size = (800, 600))
#display(fig, px_per_unit = 2)

# Ajout de l'arrière-plan de la carte avec Tyler
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1]) #, title = "Spain map")
prov = Esri(:WorldImagery)
extent = Rect2f(-9, 35, 13, 10) #

# Charger les tuiles de la carte
tm = Tyler.Map(extent; provider=prov, figure=fig, axis=ax);

pts = Point2f(MapTiles.project((long,latt), MapTiles.wgs84, MapTiles.web_mercator))
objscatter = scatter!(tm.axis, pts; color = :red, markersize = 5, marker = :circle)

```

Produces the error:

```julia

Looks like an old tyler version.

Two things that in error. 1) `lon` and `lat` are swapped. 2) Minimum latitude is greater than max latitude.  
With GMT that gives Bing images by default

```julia
using GMT

I = mosaic([-3.90931, -3.88463], [40.4079, 40.4483])
viz(I)

```

A low res image of the above.

I have Tyler version v0.1.5 - the 0.2.0 version seems to have some conflict:

Swapping them resulted in the same error ;

I used GMT before, but for some reason that stopped plotting anything without changing either my code or data ; This is why I turned to GLMakie / Tyler

One normally open issues in the package site to try to fix whatever error is causing that behavior.

the issue is the MapTiles.project function, that only works for pairs of points, not arrays. But even doing that, the marker is being hidden, this doesn’t fail now, but we don’t see the marker, something broke this recently @sdanisch ?

```julia
using GLMakie
GLMakie.activate!()

# using GeoMakie
using Tyler
using Tyler.TileProviders
using Tyler.MapTiles
using Tyler.Extents

#
latt = [40.4483, 40.4079]
long = [-3.90931, -3.88463]

function to_web_mercator(lo,lat)
    return Point2f(MapTiles.project((lo,lat), MapTiles.wgs84, MapTiles.web_mercator))
end

pts = to_web_mercator.(long,latt)

fig = Figure(; size = (800, 600))
#display(fig, px_per_unit = 2)

# Ajout de l'arrière-plan de la carte avec Tyler
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1]) #, title = "Spain map")
prov = Esri(:WorldImagery)
extent = Rect2f(-9, 35, 13, 10) #
# lon, lat, delta, delta
# Charger les tuiles de la carte
tm = Tyler.Map(extent; provider=prov, figure=fig, axis=ax);

objscatter = scatter!(ax, pts; color = :red,
    marker = '⭐', markersize = 50)
translate!(objscatter, 0, 0, 2)
# limits!(ax, Rect2f(data_limits(objscatter)))
fig

```

edit: lon and lat were reversed ☹ , now all is fine 😃

I think the marker thing might be this issue I recently encountered:

>
> The "Add points, polygons and text to a map" example (\[here\](https://makieorg.gi…thub.io/Tyler.jl/v0.1.4/points\_poly\_text)) duplicated below conceals the star point when I zoom about 10 mouse clicks. It seems to be that the point is printed over when the tiles update.

yes, it works for the example in the docs, but weirdly enough not for this case… so, it seems like something buggy is actually happening here.

It did look to my, like the markers are outside the region (extent)?

try: `limits!(ax, Rect2f(data_limits(objscatter)))` and it will take you outside the map… Which makes sense since the values are outside the extend from the beginning!

I took exactly the code above, and it does not work:

```julia
# For plots

using Tyler.MapTiles
using Tyler.Extents

#
long = [40.4483, 40.4079]
latt = [-3.88463, -3.90931]

function to_web_mercator(lat,lo)
    return Point2f(MapTiles.project((lat,lo), MapTiles.wgs84, MapTiles.web_mercator))
end
pts = to_web_mercator.(latt,long)

# Création de la figure
fig = Figure(; size = (800, 600))

# Ajout de l'arrière-plan de la carte avec Tyler
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1]) #, title = "Spain map")
prov = Esri(:WorldImagery)
extent = Rect2f(-9, 35, 13, 10) #

# Charger les tuiles de la carte
tm = Tyler.Map(extent; provider=prov, figure=fig, axis=ax);

objscatter = scatter!(ax, pts; color = :red, marker = '⭐', markersize = 50)
translate!(objscatter, 0, 0, 2)
limits!(ax, Rect2f(data_limits(objscatter)))

fig

```

This still gives:
