Maps v3.0.0

  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 user and would like to learn more.
