3D car model

Mapbox enables “digital twin” functionality where animation of vehicle functions like turning wheels, opening doors, and operation of brake lights, turn signals, and headlights can be expressed in the digital model, representing real-world vehicle actions in real time. This adds an additional layer of true-to-life context that will improve safety.

3D clipping layer

Developers can define a custom polygon within which all existing buildings, 3D models, and symbols are removed. The ‘clip’ layer type removes competing elements within discrete areas while retaining the 3D layers elsewhere on the map giving automotive OEMs the flexibility to customize the map with their data (e.g. charging stations and dealerships).

Advanced debugging

Mapbox offers advanced debugging capabilities that enable detailed tracking of runtime metrics (e.g. memory usage) helping developers identify bottlenecks to further optimize performance in their integrated environments. These tools also support fine-tuning the map experience based on the constraints and capabilities of the target automotive hardware, ensuring reliable operation across a wide range of systems.

Apply LUTs from standard design tools

LUTs (look-up-table) can be created in standard design tools (Photoshop, Pixelmator, etc.) and applied dynamically by the Mapbox renderer, allowing a programmatic way to style map elements.

Binary diff delta updates

Map data updates are applied via binary patches that are typically 2-5% the size of a full download when requested with X-Accept-Delta HTTP headers. This feature reduces data consumption for navigation apps from over 1GB to ~207MB (80%) over 4 months of updates.

CI/CD testing with target automotive hardware

The Mapbox renderer is tested with over 30 OEM head units and restricted access hardware from multiple vendors via a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. The Mapbox device lab includes secure cloud & remote developer access with device sharing, GitHub, automated CI integration, support for long running nightly tests, and ARM virtualized head units (VHU) enabling Mapbox to build and test on the hardware being used in vehicles and quickly reproduce reported issues from the field.

Dynamic Lighting for custom styles and content: one style for dark and light style modes

The model layer containing landmarks, trees, and cars supports dynamic lighting effects to simulate materiality, specular highlights, and reflected surfaces, allowing 3D models such as a vehicle to interact with the map and nearby buildings and vegetation in a realistic way.

Elevated line

Mapbox renderer enables roads to follow the terrain slope with partial line visibility (occlusion) behind terrain enabling drivers to see the road ahead even when it is obscured by terrain, buildings or other objects.

Elevated symbols

Symbols and lines can be elevated relative to particular map features. Developers can elevate POIs based on their location within multi-story buildings, or drape POIs and lines on top of terrain. They can also set a uniform desired height from the map surface (e.g. 5 meters).

Multiple map instances

Mapbox’s map rendering engine is optimized for handling multiple, simultaneous map instances efficiently minimizing resource consumption. This is especially important where multiple synchronized map views such as cluster, navigation, and overview maps need to run smoothly at the same time.

Symbol and route lines occlusion

Mapbox enables symbols (e.g. road lines) to render with lower opacity when they are behind buildings, hillsides or other structures, which aids in driver comprehension of map features such as when a route travels through a tunnel.
