Summary

The new features in the Mapbox Standard 3D basemap enable more advanced map rendering experiences with improved performance. The development tools have been strengthened and extended to better analyze typical map rendering scenarios and their resource usage, allowing developers to optimize performance more effectively. The MapRecorder API provides a way to capture real-world dynamic map rendering scenarios, enabling an in-depth analysis of the performance usage in those specific instances. This allows for a more accurate assessment of the impact of changes on performance, particularly when it comes to dynamic camera movements and frame rate fluctuations. The Performance Statistics and Tracing APIs offer valuable insights into tracking the performance impact of layer property changes, symbol layers with numerous features, and tile fetching intervals, helping developers identify potential bottlenecks and optimize their code accordingly. These tools are now integrated into the v11.2 release of the Mobile Maps SDKs for immediate download.
