https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/4115 This change makes background data gathering more efficient by disabling standard location updates when the device has been stationary for at least five minutes. It also establishes region monitoring and significant location change monitoring so that if the device appears to be in motion again then background telemetry data collection can resume. All of this reduces the amount of time required for telemetry data collection to the time the device is in motion only. It also only applies to host apps that already run in the background and have the always location permission from their users. This also includes some changes to make the internal pause/resume API of the MGLMapboxEvents class less complex and autonomous. The side effects of the map view waking or sleeping are no longer required for mapbox events to work as intended.
Mapbox GL Native
A library for embedding interactive, customizable vector maps into native applications on multiple platforms. It takes stylesheets that conform to the Mapbox GL Style Specification, applies them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and renders them using OpenGL. Mapbox GL JS is the WebGL-based counterpart, designed for use on the Web.
The Mapbox GL ecosystem
This repository hosts the cross-platform Mapbox GL Native library, plus convenient SDKs for several platforms. The cross-platform library comes with a GLFW-based demo application for Ubuntu Linux and OS X. The SDKs target the usual languages on their respective platforms:
| SDK | Languages | Build status |
|---|---|---|
| Mapbox GL Native | C++14 |   |
| Mapbox Android SDK | Java |  |
| Mapbox iOS SDK | Objective-C or Swift |  |
| Mapbox OS X SDK | Objective-C or Swift |  |
| node-mapbox-gl-native | Node.js | |
Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries are developed outside of this repository:
- React Native Mapbox GL for React Native applications on iOS and Android
- QMapboxGL for Qt-based applications
- Telerik’s Mapbox plugin for Apache Cordova Hybrid applications
- Telerik’s Mapbox plugin for NativeScript Hybrid applications
- Xamarin's Mapbox component for Xamarin Hybrid applications
If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed here, consider embedding Mapbox GL JS using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
