 map.addLayer(cloudmade).setView(new L.LatLng(41.52, -71.09), 13);


 });

Solution

  • I think what is happening is that, when the map is created, the container width/height for your `map-canvas' element has not yet been adjusted to the width/height of the modal dialog. This causes the map size to be incorrect (smaller) than what it should be.

    You can fix this by calling map.invalidateSize(). This will work to re-adjust the width/height bounds of the L.Map's container.

    You can automatically call this by hooking into the event where the Bootstrap modal becomes shown.

    $('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function(){
      setTimeout(function() {
        map.invalidateSize();
      }, 10);
     });
    

    Insert this code into your JavaScript. When the modal is shown, the map will then invalidate its size. The timeout is because there may be some animation/transition time for the modal to display and be added to the DOM.
