Apple Maps Guides

I tried creating a sprite with a normal map; lighting works; however if I rotate the sprite, the lighting doesn't respond.After seeing this; I realize 'duh, my pixels saying +x values still say +x values no matter where I am'So while I understand why it happens, is there anything built into sprite kit to recompute normal maps or the lighting calculation based on sprite rotation, or am I into custom shaders?Thanks,-Michael

Would ARKit be able to map/identify the depth/height of the humps/bumps in a given surface (E.g: the floor or the top of a table)?

I am switchingt to the new WWDC 2023 SwiftUI map with user location and a few map annotations. I find if I use .mapStyle(.imagery(elevation: .flat)) as the map style, the map will be loaded with a reasonably zoomed area. However, if I use .mapStyle(.imagery(elevation: .realistic)) on the same map, the simulator will give me a view of the entire planet. I have to manually zoom in everytime to find the user location and annotations, which is not very convenient. This is the only map style configuration that does this. I am not very sure if this is a feature or a inconsistency bug. If this is a feature, I cannot see the purpose of it.

Please let me know is it possible to use additional map channel? (here is a screenshot from 3ds max: https://i.imgur.com/UJXkkwa.png )For example, if I'd like to apply all basic textures to 1st map channel and transparency/opacity map to the 2nd map channel.And is USD file support animated UVs?Thank you!

Hi, is possible to extend maps app through app extensions to add some road marks or something like that when user uses navigation? I want to show some checkmarks on apple maps app when user uses apple maps. Or maybe just to notify users when approaching to some section?

How does one get the same map are to be viewed regardless of screen resolution? I have a full-screen MapView on iPad. Here is how I set the view:#define zoomSize 50MKCoordinateRegion region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance([self myLocation], zoomSize, zoomSize);MKCoordinateRegion fittedRegion = [mapView regionThatFits:region];[mapView setRegion:fittedRegion animated:YES];Whether displayed on iPad 2 (1024 x 768) or iPad 3/4/Air/Air2 (2048 x 768), I get a visibleMapRect of 645 x 471. However, the actual area visible for the iPad 3/4/Air/Air2 is twice the area of the iPad2. I'd like them to be the same.

Hello, I have used CPPointOfInterestTemplate for displaying data and as user scrolls using the up/down arrow, I do not see any change in the map. Is there a way to highlight the POIs as the user scrolls through the list? I need to use the map controls and zoom to check the markers on the map. Is it possible to set the zoom level of the map in CarPlay? Pls suggest on the above queries
