Overview

Welcome to the GLOBUS, the powerhouse behind the popular Guru Maps app. If you've been searching for a robust, customizable, and cross-platform map solution, you've come to the right place.

🗺️ A Brief History

We began our journey in 2010 with the iOS Guru Maps application, formerly known as Galileo Offline Maps. But why stop at one platform? To reach more users, we expanded to Android and realized we could offer our map component as a standalone framework to fellow developers. Fast forward to today, we continue to innovate GLOBUS, which encompasses the core GLMap, GLSearch, and GLRoute features.

🎯 Core Components

GLMap

GLMap is your map engine. It's lightning-fast, operates offline, and is designed with customization in mind.

🚀 Key Features

Binary Bliss

Our map format is a lean machine, focusing only on the essentials for quick rendering. Say goodbye to slow load times; our tiles are optimized for speedy downloads.

Dress It Up With MapCSS

With our MapCSS parser, customize your map's style down to minute details—colors, object types, scales, you name it!

GPU Power

Utilizing Metal and OpenGL ES, we've achieved buttery-smooth, 60 fps rendering. It's so fast; you won't believe it runs even on older devices.

Speak Any Language

Thanks to the Harfbuzz library, our text renderer supports text shaping in all world languages.

GLSearch

GLSearch is more than a search bar. It's an offline-optimized, comprehensive search functionality built right into your maps.

• Find Anything, Anywhere

  • Address search
  • Type-based search
  • Administrative boundary search

• Reverse Like a Pro

  • Identify regions for any map point
  • Discover nearby addresses effortlessly

GLRoute

Enter GLRoute, your navigator. Built on the open-source Valhalla engine, it's more than turn-by-turn directions.

• Know Your Way
  • Comprehensive guidance
  • Time and distance estimates
  • Offline and online capabilities
