Image Layer Possibility about kepler.gl HOT 5 OPEN

@coenvalk Maybe you can add mapbox satellite styles? You can add either of these to kepler.gl's custom map style

mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-v9
mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-streets-v9 (includes labels)

@coenvalk FWIW, we are exploring adding a BitmapLayer to deck.gl v6.0, tracker is here visgl/deck.gl#1893.

Hi, now that kepler uses deck.gl v8, I was just wondering if there's any update on using arbitrary bitmaps within (the gorgeous) kepler.gl?

In particular, I'd like to add satellite and numerical weather predictions to my kepler.js visualisations, like in this deck.gl BitmapLayer example.

Thanks for the responses! this is a great start and will do while I'm waiting for the bitmap layer.

Eventually I'm looking for something where I can specifically import my own pictures to be displayed on the map, because I need to include pictures with specific objects such as cars and people. That's why I'm looking specifically a bitmap layer instead of immediately importing the satellite map on mapbox.

we will be able to take a look at this after upgrading to deck.gl v7
