Globe View

← Back to MapLibre Native roadmap

Globe View

Goals:

  • Zoom out via Adaptive Composite Map Projection
  • Ability to show and interact with Globe (or alternative view on earth) when map is zoomed out - while reusing and loading the same Mercator vector tile and raster data - client side reprojection of the data - using Adaptive Composite Map Projection - where deeply zoomed you are in Mercator - but from certain zoom level up there is transition to another projection.
