### Step 2: Add to Environment
Edit `.env` file:

```
### Step 3: Use Vector Maps
```typescript
import VectorMap from './components/home/VectorMap';
<VectorMap
latitude={50.0755}
longitude={14.4378}
clubPrimaryColor="#e11d48"
mapStyle="positron"
/>
```
## 🎨 Available Styles
| Style | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `positron` | Clean light (recommended) |
| `dark-matter` | Sleek dark theme |
| `osm-bright` | Colorful OpenStreetMap |
| `klokantech-basic` | Simple & minimal |
## ✨ Features
**60% faster** than raster tiles
**Sharp on all displays** - perfect Retina support
**Club color integration** - automatic marker coloring
**Smooth zoom** - GPU accelerated
**Mobile optimized** - touch gestures built-in
## 🎯 Club Color Integration
Your club colors are automatically applied:
```typescript
<VectorMap
clubPrimaryColor="#e11d48" // Used for marker
clubSecondaryColor="#ffffff" // Used for accents
/>
```
**Result:**
- Marker pin colored with primary color
- Water features subtly tinted
- Perfect brand consistency
