Details about v3.9.6:
As Mapbox now requires to use a custom API access token, custom Mapbox basemaps will not work anymore if you registered your Mapbox account after January 2015.
In case you are using custom Mapbox basemaps and in case that those maps are broken, please switch to another basemap like OpenStreetMap or upgrade to Maps Marker Pro, which enables you to continue using custom Mapbox basemaps – even with accounts created after January 2015 (please also note that Mapbox might discontinue the usage of their old API for existing users in the long run too!)
Maps Marker Pro v2.1 adds full support for mapbox API compatible with API v4 – for details on how to setup your custom mapbox basemaps, please visit https://www.mapsmarker.com/mapbox
