GLMap for Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform, and React Native is now available in beta. Install the packages from pub.dev, the Globus Maven repository, or npm to bring native maps, search, routing, and offline data to Android and iOS apps while writing your feature code in Dart, Kotlin, or TypeScript.

Try the demos, add GLMap to your app, and tell us what works—and what gets in the way. Your feedback will help shape the APIs, examples, and integration experience before a stable release.

GLMap 2.0 is our largest SDK update in years. It adds 3D terrain, one search flow for online and offline data, new pedestrian routing profiles, Vulkan rendering on Android, and much smaller reference applications for Swift and Kotlin.

The goal is not a longer API. It is a more capable map that remains compact to integrate, works with downloaded data, and behaves consistently across iOS and Android.

Better Navigation UI with Track Arrows​

v1.13.0 makes navigation routes clearer with directional arrows along your track. Plus: a new helper for displaying user location, Android stability fixes, and better cross-platform API parity.

API Refinement, Smarter Tile Loading, and Cross-Platform Consistency​

v1.12.0 is all about polish and performance. We've cleaned up coordinate conversion APIs, optimized tile loading to reduce bandwidth waste, and standardized naming across platforms to make your code more maintainable.

TL;DR​

1. Unified screen-to-map conversion API on Android – now uses android.graphics.PointF, eliminating the old MapPoint/Point mix-up
2. Property clean-up on iOS – mapZoom → mapScale (and heads-up about v1.13 renaming of mapZoomLevel)
3. Smarter tile pipeline on both platforms – fewer aborts, fewer duplicate downloads, better cache hit-rate
4. NDK r28.1 & 16 KB page-size support for Android – rebuilt libs and updated CMake configs

Lane Guidance, Valhalla Integration, and Smarter Route Tracking​

v1.11.0 brings professional-grade navigation features that help drivers navigate complex intersections with confidence. We've added turn lane information, direct Valhalla JSON route creation, and intelligent alternative route tracking.
