Enable hardware acceleration
In order to support 3D Maps, hardware acceleration must be enabled in most
browsers. To enable hardware acceleration in Chrome and Microsoft Edge, open
Settings, select System, and ensure that Use hardware acceleration
when available is enabled.
If you created an experimental v=alpha Maps JavaScript API 3D map before
February 20th 2025 (prior to version 3.60.1) and encounter a
map error or black or blank map, you need to update your code
to continue using the Maps JavaScript API 3D map features.
A new mode option on Map3DElement must now be set for 3D Map to be rendered
(2 new values HYBRID and SATELLITE are available). The existing
defaultLabelsDisabled option is removed, set the mode to either HYBRID or SATELLITE.
