Just to resurrect for discussion....

Viewranger had 3d maps, now Orux and also OS Maps have 3d maps

the last 2 are using mapbox GL JS

https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/guides/


Unless locus keeps up features that otehr apps are getting , it makes it difficult to advise locus, ive had a couple of clients refuse to move from OS maps because of 3d maps...

Orux , viewranger and OS all have/had 3d maps as part of teh premium subscription

so this would be a good gold only feature.

even it was from locus webplanner only ( which i think OS maps does)


Menion has already said no, but im hoping like Android Auto we can reignite interest....

and this one, my previous idea

https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/36001-3d-maps

that was more to do with the share with gogole maps not working

since theni noticed about mapbox which 3d looks much better than google earth

google earth is a temporary fix, but lots of people have expressed interest in 3d, Tapio, Andrew Heard etc..

by teh recent additions to OS Maps, and Orux, theyve jumped in features by adding mapbox
