Maps 3D SDK for iOS release notes

Announcing the General Availability (GA) release of the Maps 3D SDK for iOS (v1.0.0), which includes the following new features and changes:

• Added UI controls for manipulating the camera position and orientation on the map (see Configure camera controls):
  • Added mapControls(at:margin:spacing:_:) and MapControlsBuilder to configure the placement and spacing of UI controls on a Map using MapControlPosition and MapControlOrientation.
  • Added map control views: CompassControl, ZoomControl, TiltControl, RotateControl, PanHorizontalControl, PanVerticalControl, and Spacer.
• Added interactive basemap points of interest (POIs) with built-in Places UI Kit integration in GoogleMaps3DKit to display place details when users tap POIs on the 3D map (see Interact with points of interest):
  • Added onPlaceTap(_:) and PlaceTapAction (.default and .none) to control whether the built-in Places UI widget is displayed when a POI is tapped.
  • Updated Map to include placeInformationEnabled(_:) to enable or disable the built-in place information card.
• Added map localization support to configure the language and region for map labels and UI elements using the SwiftUI .environment(\.locale, ...) modifier on Map (see Localize the map).
• Added custom view marker support to render SwiftUI View hierarchies as markers on the 3D map (see Create markers with custom views):
  • Added Marker to anchor custom SwiftUI views or customized Pin views to a LatLngAltitude position with configurable AltitudeMode, CollisionBehavior, and Popover attachments via MapContentAnchorable.
