Note that `setView` call also returns the map object --- most Leaflet methods act like this when they don't return an explicit value, which allows convenient jQuery-like method chaining.
Next we'll add a tile layer to add to our map, in this case it's a Mapbox Streets tile layer. Creating a tile layer usually involves setting the [URL template](http://leafletjs.com/reference.html#url-template) for the tile images (get yours at [Mapbox](http://mapbox.com)), the attribution text and the maximum zoom level of the layer:
Next we'll add a tile layer to add to our map, in this case it's a Mapbox Streets tile layer. Creating a tile layer usually involves setting the [URL template](http://leafletjs.com/reference.html#url-template) for the tile images, the attribution text and the maximum zoom level of the layer. In this example we'll use the `mapbox.streets` tiles from [Mapbox's "Classic maps"](https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/#maps) (in order to use tiles from Mapbox, you must also [request an access token](https://www.mapbox.com/studio/account/tokens/)).

Make sure all the code is called after the `div` and `leaflet.js` inclusion. That's it! You have a working Leaflet map now.
It's worth noting that Leaflet is provider-agnostic, meaning that it doesn't enforce a particular choice of providers for tiles, and it doesn't even contain a single provider-specific line of code, so you're free to use other providers if you need to (we'd recommend Mapbox though, it looks beautiful).
It's worth noting that Leaflet is provider-agnostic, meaning that it doesn't enforce a particular choice of providers for tiles. You can try replacing `mapbox.streets` with `mapbox.satellite`, and see what happens. Also, Leaflet doesn't even contain a single provider-specific line of code, so you're free to use other providers if you need to (we'd suggest Mapbox though, it looks beautiful).
