……
The digital map development platform “Mapbox” provided by Mapbox Japan LLC has officially started offering “Mapbox Standard”, a 3D function that enables high-performance and beautiful map expressions, from today. Mapbox account holders can take advantage of 3D functionality with the latest Mapbox GL JS v3, Mobile Maps SDK v11, and Mapbox Studio.
The product has been available in beta for Mapbox account holders since August 10, 2023, but with the official release, the number of supported cities has been increased to 67 cities. In the Japan area, in addition to Tokyo, which is already supported, we plan to add major cities such as Yokohama, Nagoya, Sapporo, and Osaka next year. This makes it possible to represent more cities and landmarks in
high-performance 3D.
Mapbox Standard has a lighting function that expresses the movement of shadows caused by sunlight based on the user’s location information, and a 3D landmark function that displays 3D landmark buildings and reflects changes in lighting on the map. . In the official release, we added detailed display position settings such as labels and fog based on customer requests. With high-performance map representations that closely resemble the real world, it contributes to the realization of navigation that is easy to understand visually and intuitively, as well as data management and analysis using digital twins.
