Earlier this month, Mapbox GL JS v2.0 was released, featuring 3D maps that have quickly gained popularity among developers, as evidenced by 1400 customers experimenting with the new version within 48 hours of its launch. The update includes 3D terrain, sky styling, and a new camera API, which developers have found easy to integrate, allowing for the creation of unique and custom map experiences. Notable projects using GL JS v2 include a 3D map of the Sheregesh ski resort, Devseed's Mapbox GL Director app for custom animations, and MiniTokyo3D's real-time visualization of Tokyo's public transportation system. The new features have been praised for their intuitive APIs, enabling rapid adoption and innovation in mapping experiences.
