Native Maps for Web, Mobile and Linux
A map rendering library written in Rust.

Project State

This project is in a proof-of-concept state. The proof of concept is done except for text rendering. The Rust ecosystem is suited very well for this project.

In the future this project could be adopted and supported by Maplibre to implement a next-gen mapping solution.

Description

mapr is a portable and performant vector maps renderer. We aim to support the web, mobile and desktop applications. This is achieved by the novel WebGPU specification. Plenty of native implementations are already implementing this specification. On the web it is implemented by Firefox, Chrome and Safari. There are also standalone implementations which directly use Vulkan, OpenGL or Metal as a backend. Those backends allow mapr to run on mobile and desktop applications.

Rust is used as a Lingua-franka on all platforms. This is made possible by WebAssembly which allows us to use Rust for web development.

The goal of mapr is to render maps in order to visualize data. Right now the goal of mapr is not to replace existing vector map renderers like Google Maps, Apple Maps or MapLibre. The current implementation serves as a proof-of-concept of the used technology stack. It is unclear whether the high-performance requirements of rendering maps using vector graphics are achievable using the current stack.

Building & Running

Now, to clone the project:

git clone --recursive [email protected]/maxammann/mapr

and then build it for running on a desktop:

cargo build

After that you can run it on your desktop:

cargo run --example desktop --

More information about building for different platforms can be found here.

Note for Mac: Before opening the XCode project, you need to build manually using the following command: cargo build --target aarch64-apple-darwin --lib

After that, open the XCode project and run it. (XCode seems to set some environment variables which cause problems with the build directly within XCode)

Rust Setup

Install rustup because this is the recommended way of setting up Rust toolchains.

The toolchain will be automatically downloaded when building this project. See ./rust-toolchain.toml for more details about the toolchain.

Documentation

This generates the documentation for this crate and opens the browser. This also includes the documentation of every dependency.

cargo doc --open

You can also view the up-to-date documentation here.

  • Render directly to lower-level graphics surface

    Render directly to lower-level graphics surface

    Like maplibre-gl-native, this library could support rendering to lower-level graphics surfaces, ideally

    • OpenGL framebuffer
    • Metal surface
    • DirectX surface

    This would allow easier integration to custom apps or other libraries like Qt.

  • Create a struct for `ZoomLevel`

    Create a struct for `ZoomLevel`

    We probably should add a struct for ZoomLevel.

    Originally posted by @maxammann in https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-rs/pull/87#discussion_r867936765

    🤔 Expected Behavior

    Zoom is a f64 which represents the current zoom on the map. It needs to be a floating number because we want to be able to zoom smoothly on the map.

    ZoomLevel is a u8 which represents the level of a tile within the map's quad tree. ZoomLevel 0 would be one tile that contains the entire map, ZoomLevel 1 would be a part of the map if it was split in 4, etc.

    We can derive the current ZoomLevel from the Zoom using the constant ZOOM_BOUNDS defined in the coords.rs file.

    😯 Current Behavior

    Currently ZoomLevel is always stored as a u8 directly.

    💁 Possible Solution

    We should create a custom type or a struct to store the zoom level.

    🔦 Context

    It would make the code easier to read.

    💻 Examples

    The function below could be changed from:

    pub fn scale_to_zoom_level(&self, z: u8) -> f64
    

    to:

    pub fn scale_to_zoom_level(&self, z: ZoomLevel) -> f64

  • Reduce znear so the map is not cut when we tilt the camera

    Reduce znear so the map is not cut when we tilt the camera

    When we tilt the camera using the R and F keys, the map clips. If we decrease the near clip plane to 1 it no longer does that.

    Fixing this highlights another problem which should be resolved separately in another pr/issue. When tilting the screen we get thread 'main' panicked at 'Error in Queue::write_buffer: copy of 0..4216 would end up overrunning the bounds of the Destination buffer of size 2176'. We should: limit the data we write to the buffer; display a lower zoom level for far away tiles when we tilt the screen.

    💻 Examples

    Here is a screen shot with the map clipping due to a big znear value.

    🚨 Test instructions

    Run the maplibre demo and press R or F.

  • "cargo test" fails with "android-ndk-sys only supports compiling for Android"

    I'm trying to work on one of the issues labelled with good first issue and to ensure that my changes aren't breaking anything, I would like to run the tests, but it's failing.

    🤔 Expected Behavior

    I expect the tests to be executed when I run cargo test.

    😯 Current Behavior

    I forked the repository and installed the toolchain with cargo --version > /dev/null as seen in the justfile. I then executed cargo test and it failed with the error:

    Android improvements

    This PR includes multiples improvements for Android:

    1. Add x86 as a target in addition to x86_64 and arm64.
    2. Unify minSDK to 21 which is the lowest version that support OpenGL ES 3.1 on Android.
    3. Unify targetSDK to 31.
    4. Update https://github.com/mozilla/rust-android-gradle to version 0.9.3 and remove the custom config related to this issue since it has been fixed in the new version. This custom configuration didn't work on non-linux operating systems.
    5. Remove limits and leave only downlevel_defaults for Android because downlevel_defaults has the defaults for OpenGL ES 3.1.

  • Debug line width depends on zoom

    Debug line width depends on zoom

    Currently the width of the debug lines depends on the zoom.

    🤔 Expected Behavior

    Lines should always have the same pixel-width on the screen.

    😯 Current Behavior

    The width changes.

    💁 Possible Solution

    Multiply the line width in the debug shader with a scaling factor: https://github.com/maxammann/maplibre-rs/blob/07bddd2a8c42f0cb906586f01eaaefb94dc34f7a/maplibre/src/render/shaders/tile.vertex.wgsl#L31

  • Limit work done per frame

    Limit work done per frame

    Even thought his can be done by newcomers, this issue is HARD

    We need to do some work on the main thread:

    • Receive data from threads or WebWorkers
    • upload data to GPU

    Here for example we process all the data we receive in the event loop:

    https://github.com/maxammann/maplibre-rs/blob/2b917e9e0850d95c876bfcf0f0f3c777f56b842d/maplibre/src/stages/populate_tile_store_stage.rs#L41-L43

    We could limit this to a certain amount of messages or the message sizes.

    🤔 Expected Behavior

    No frames should be dropped.

    😯 Current Behavior

    Sometimes frames are dropped because of uploads.

    💁 Possible Solution

    Limit the time spend on uploading or other work. This can either be done by measuring time (low level), or by restricting it on a higher level, e.g. the amount of work items.

    Steps for this issue:

    1. Check where the most time is spent during the render loop using the Tracy profiler
    2. Reduce it by doing less work per frame.
