See how you can make our next-generation maps your own.
Deck.gl
Bring your data to the real world with Deck.gl.
Deck.gl is an open-source data visualization framework for the web that makes it easy to create 2D and 3D visualizations of large geospatial datasets. It allows you to composite multiple layers to analyze complex data in its real-world context and gain valuable insights.
Travel the world in this interactive WebGL-powered demo.
Explore a new generation of mapping experiences with WebGL-powered Maps, and see how different the world can be when you control and render on the map in three dimensions.
Take our new cloud-based maps customization for a test drive.
You can now create custom map styles right on the web. Our new cloud-based map styling makes it easy to tailor experiences for specific industries or customer needs. Try it out, and see how quickly you can create custom maps that publish simultaneous updates across all devices and platforms.
See the updates to WebGL-powered Maps and the Maps Javascript API.
New features include:
* **Tilt & Rotation:** You can now control the map in three dimensions. Objects can be resized, and occluded behind other objects.
* **Integrated Camera Control:** Instantly update all parameters at once, and implement your own camera animations.
* **WebGL Overlay View:** This allows you to render 2D and 3D objects directly on the basemap.
Mix Maps and AR with Floom, the fun augmented reality app that lets you explore the other side of the globe.
Floom uses your location, and creates a tunnel to the other side of the globe - right in your browser. It was built by Google Creative Lab using the WebXR API and Google Maps Javascript API.
Note: Floom is currently only available using Chrome on Android devices.
Join over 4 million people sharing their observations about the natural world.
iNaturalist, a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society, allows you to track encounters with organisms around the world. With over 75,000,000 recorded observations so far, the crowdsourced data lives in the cloud and helps scientists understand when and where organisms are found.
See how digital twins can be implemented using Google Maps API WebGL with 3D features.
UbiLabs created a demo, “Moving Hamburg,” to show how digital twins can be used to perform digital analyses and scenarios before being put to the test in the real world.
Race through the streets of Paris, take a Sunday drive around the neighborhood, or rally in the desert – all in three dimensions on Google Maps. You can use your computer, tablet, or phone to drive anywhere in the world.
