What to notice

• Declaring controls.attribution replaces the built-in control; position takes any of the four corners.
• customAttribution matters here: the replacement control only shows source-contributed attribution text, and if there is none it renders empty — invisible. Give it content when your basemap carries no attribution of its own.
