Android Auto

[nitrag]

It appears that Android Auto has a more complex system for rendering a map than iOS. In iOS, I have implemented another MapView via ViewController and it was quite easy. I have seen the company that this repository is forked from has a plugin to assist with rendering Android Auto but only compatible with v10+. I'm not talking about Navigation SDK.

• Are there any pre-requisites in maplibre-gl-native that do not exist for AA functionality?
  • If not, does anyone have a working example?
  • If so, what would be the bounty on this?

@nitrag Do you have any update on this? I want to know if there's an implementation for Android Auto using MapLibre

There are implementations, but nothing open source as far as I know. For example Flitsmeister has Android Auto working with MapLibre.

Android unfortunately doesn't have the same support as Apple for View Controllers in Car Play. You essentially have to take bitmap renders of a virtual map view and send those at 30fps to Android Screen renderer.

We spent over $20k in closed source development efforts to fully build this out.
