summary

WebGL overlay open beta brings programmatic camera tilt/rotation and webgl overlays (with cloud-based map styling tied to map ids) but map id switching on a live map object is not yet supported even though map id on API load is now optional. Tilt caps at 67.5° to limit data sent to low‑memory devices. Plans include an OSS 3D marker library, rxjs/rxjava/reactive support, industry style presets, and credits for nonprofits and crisis response.
