[Maps] Vector tile layer with only line features shows Polygon styling in Layer Style UI

[kindsun]

Currently tracks layers default to polygon styling which is confusing for the user since "fill color" won't really apply, but it's the first option listed when you go to style the tracks layer

Actually this is a user error. Closing!

Reopening, this is valid for Geo lines using the following instructions:

1. Use GeoJSON uploader to upload this file
2. Follow through the normal layer adding process

In the description screen shot, the icon is a vector tile layer icon meaning the Documents layer has scaling set to "Use vector tiles". There is no feature meta data available for vector tile layers so the styling UI does not know that the source is only lines.

If you set scaling to "Limit" then the form correctly selects lines displaying the styling UI. The only caveat to this is if the layer panel is opened before the layer has finished syncing data. Then the UI defaults to showing polygon styling because feature meta data not yet available.
