+## Using Mapbox GL JS with other module systems
 
-Instantiate `mapboxgl.Map`
+Since our build system depends on Browserify, to use Mapbox GL with any other module bundlers like [Webpack](https://webpack.github.io/), [SystemJS](https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs), you have to require the distribution build instead of the package entry point:
 
 ```js
-var mapboxgl = require('mapbox-gl');
-mapboxgl.accessToken = '<your access token here>';
-var map = new mapboxgl.Map({
-    container: '<your HTML element id>',
-    style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v9'
-});
+var mapboxgl = require('mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.js');
 ```

+If you're using the ES6 module system (e.g. with [Rollup](https://github.com/rollup/rollup) as a bundler), you can import `mapboxgl` like so:
 
 ```js
-import mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl';
+import mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.js';
