set imageForTile(
    imageForTile: TileOverlayUrlTemplate | TileOverlayImageCallback,
);
```

## Discussion

Discussion Set this property to a TileOverlayUrlTemplate to provide tiles by URL, or a TileOverlayImageCallback to provide tiles as image sources directly. MapKit JS sets imageForTile in the tile overlay constructor, and accesses or overrides it on the TileOverlay object directly.
