Added methods to MGLMapView that return the rendered features at a visible point or within a visible rectangle on the map, optionally restricted to a set of layers, plus voluminous documentation. Added several new geometry classes corresponding to distinct geometry types supported by geometry.hpp. Added parallel “feature” classes to represent these geometries along with tags (IDs) and attributes (properties) from the source. Grouped classes in the Foundation and SDK groups by theme. In iosapp, dropped pins’ callout views now display the name of the topmost named feature at that point. In osxapp, a long press on the map highlights the features under the cursor. Dropping a pin via the menu or context menu item shows the usual dropped pin, but the pin’s title is now the name of a feature under the cursor, if available, rather than “Dropped Pin”. Fixes the iOS/OS X side of #352.
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 | /  |
| Mapbox Qt SDK | C++03 | |
Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries are developed outside of this repository:
- React Native Mapbox GL for React Native applications on iOS and Android
- 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.
