v3.3.0

November 2021

  • IMPROVED The styling of how exit ramp names are displayed has been improved.

  • IMPROVED Several enhancements were made to the drag routes feature, which allows you to edit a route path directly on the map:

    • Dragging can be limited so that routes only snap to roads visible at the map’s current zoom level. This new feature can be turned off completely or controlled (turned on or off) by holding a specified modifier key while dragging the route. (Shift is the default key.)
    • When dragging and snapping a route, a nearby road segment is highlighted. If there is no road nearby, the cursor turns to a “not-allowed” state and if the mouse button is released, the drag is cancelled.

Drag Route

v3.2.0

October 2021

  • NEW Route modifiers, which are roads that should be avoided or favored, can now be applied to a route using one of two new parameters:

    • afSetIDs - The IDs of the Route Modifier (avoid/favor) sets that should be applied to the route.
    • afSetNames - The names of the Route Modifier sets that should be applied to the route. Default is an empty set.

  • NEW Basic Dark and Transportation Dark map styles are now available.

  • NEW Arrows can now be added to the map to indicate the direction of travel along the route.

  • NEW A new frameOptions setting allows you to change the default behavior of shifting and zooming to frame a route on the map.

  • IMPROVED Additional options are now available that customize the way a route is generated based on the type of vehicle being driven, as well as a fleet’s preferences for how that vehicle should be routed. The options match those available in our Routing APIs.

v3.1.0

September 2021

  • NEW The following optional parameters were added to RouteOptions:

  • FIXED Fixed bugs in the routing layer relating to zooming and flow problems.

  • FIXED Fixed an issue that prevented WeatherAlertFilterControl from updating.

v3.0.0

July 2021

  • NEW The JavaScript Maps SDK v3 incorporates a wide range of enhancements in how maps are rendered using the latest version of Mapbox GLJS (v1.12). It includes enhanced map controls, styling, 3D capabilities, and other features for a high level of detail and customization.

    Highlights of the release include:

    • Custom 3D layers. With a custom style layer using three.js, you can add 3D models to the map, including Trimble-owned content from the SketchUp team.

    • Improved gesture support on desktop and mobile. Three new touch gestures have been added: two-finger swipe to adjust pitch, two-finger double tap to zoom out, and tap and drag to adjust zoom with one finger.

    • New events to track map rendering. A new idle event fires when no further rendering is expected.

    • New map initialization options (bounding box). New bounds and fitBoundsOptions map constructor options can be used to indicate the initial map view in place of center and zoom.

    • Improved popups. New features include an option to set maxWidth, which defaults to 240px, and the option for closeOnMove which, when set to true, closes the popup when the map’s position changes.

    • Updated clustering and data sources. This includes a clusterProperties option for aggregated cluster properties, and methods for changing a vector tile source dynamically (e.g. setTiles, setUrl)

    Existing users can upgrade to the latest version by updating the version number in the JavaScript and CSS files in the <head> of your HTML file. Contact us if you are not a licensed Maps SDK user and would like to learn more.
