How do I get a satelite image in the mapbox, how is the map provider selected

I think that for further customization like that, a custom component would be required. They are written with React and TypeScript. We can use the same libraries as Retool does (ex. Mapbox, Quill.js). Retool's TypeScript API makes creating bindings for variables and events possible.

Mapbox Satellite Map: Display a satellite map on a webpage | Mapbox GL JS | Mapbox
React Mapbox bindings library: react-mapbox-gl - npm

Hi there @ThebigG., and welcome to the forum!
I recently developed a custom component which uses Google Maps javascript api, which enables both street view and satelite view.
The code for the map can be found here
I've been wanting to do a Youtube tutorial for those who have never done a retool custom component before, but haven't really actually had the time for it.

Welcome to the community, @ThebigG! Thanks for reaching out.
As those above me have already noted, this is currently only possible via a custom component. I highly recommend checking such a solution out, as custom components can be super powerful. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
In the meantime, I'll add an internal feature request for satellite support and follow up here when there's been any update.
