Notes on use

The main thing to note is in the map style object. The "source" attribute under "layers" and the source name under "sources" must correspond to the filename of the .mbtiles file ("naturalearth" in the example). The "source-layer" attribute under "layers" should correspond to the layer name in Mapbox Studio when exporting the .mbtiles file.

"sources" must define "mbtiles": true otherwise it is assumed the source is a url

window.openDatabases = []; holds references to the multiple open "sources" databases for each mbtiles source
