Displaying marker icons from other styles disappears

[roblav96]

I'd like to have a feature where the user can change the map style as they please.

Following this exact example:
https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/geojson-markers/
But changing the style, the markers disappear.

Maybe is it possible to import the Maki icons for all styles?
https://github.com/mapbox/maki

I'm trying to see how I can read the sprites being used in the streets-v8.json style and import them globally to the map somehow?

+1 I'd like that behavior too. Changing styles should not "empty" existing layers. I'm not using Maki icons but only drawing shapes, but they also disappear.

+1 I spent awhile trying to figure this out but didn't get anywhere.

Sorry but I'm not sure if I misunderstood something or if I should create another issue? I'm not using any icons, I'm only drawing (lines and circles) on my map, and when I change its style, all shapes disappears and I have to reload my datas. Here's a video of my issue (not my website but was easier to show): http://streamable.com/3i0w

@nicooprat This is a separate issue.

What I've done is stored all my popups and layer data separately then reload the data when I change styles.

Yes of course but I think it's not the supposed behavior. I will open another issue, thanks.

Did anybody ever find a solution?

+1 annoying super annoying for sure it should save its state automatically and handle styles, layers and other things that has anything to do with changing map in any way internally. It'll help abstract away some of that complexity of having to deal with map state and all. While using mapbox-directions it kinda make it disappear from map when styles and layers are updated.
