Offset the vanishing point using padding

Offset the center or vanishing point of the map to reduce distortion when floating elements are displayed over the map.

Note
If you want to test this example, edit it in JSFiddle or CodePen and replace the "YOUR-OWN-API-KEY" and "YOUR-OWN-VPM-ID" placeholders with your actual api key and vpm id.
