06 – Map Viewer Changelog

Version 1.8.0 – June 2, 2023 #

Added

• Add three different route types: shortest, accessible, “healthy” (avoids elevators). On desktop the path computation is slightly modified to take into account the different route types. On mobile a new parameter is added to the route request payload to let the SDK know what type of route we want to compute.
• Add dummy indications that temporarily replace navigation indications.
• Show path node numbers on debug path layer.
• Added cartesian coordinates to points of interest to accurately calculate routes in both the Android and iOS SDKs

Fixed

• Fix window size not being properly calculated on flutter applications (iOS)

Version 1.7.0 – June 1, 2023 #

Added

• New advise on bottom-left corner in touchable devices that notify that user can zoom with fingers. It is just shown on 1st time, it fades out when user does a first interaction. It is deactivated by default.

Version 1.6.7 – May 29, 2023 #

Fixed

• Fix route being still visible after finishing navigation. Now, after reaching the destination point, all NavigationLayer components are hidden but the destination icon.
• Fix blue/green/gray-dot icon flickering.
• Fix previous destination icon still visible in some use cases.

Version 1.6.6 – May 26, 2023 #

Improved

• Implemented automatic webpage reloading functionality to detect and incorporate new releases seamlessly. This ensures that users are always presented with the latest version of the webpage without the need for manual refreshing.
• Enhancing configuration options available to users in the SettingsPanel. Exposed new settings for adjusting POI label fontSize, fontWeight, and outline width, and navigation configurations.
• Improved new UI in the settings panel with better nesting of settings and help tooltips

Fixed

• Fix unavalaible mediaQuery.addEventListener method in older browsers
• Addressed bugs related to loading specific parameters from JSON, such as navigation/recalculateOnOutOfRoute, map/labels fontSize, fontWeight, and outline/width.
• Fixed bugs related to the precedences of config file and self-computed min/max zoom levels.
• Fix error where the clear search bar icon was not appearing on iOS devices

Version 1.6.5 – May 23, 2023 #

Added

• Add route_requested tinybird event to calculateStaticRoute action.

Fixed

• Fix current position rendering, now it is drawn above extrusion layers.
• Fix route being still visible after finishing navigation. Now all NavigationLayer components are hidden right after completing a route.
• Bugs related to loading specific parameters from JSON, such as navigation/recalculateOnOutOfRoute, map/labels fontSize, fontWeight, and outline/width…
• Ensured config element precedence is respected: 1) custom-fields, 2) config file, 3) self-computed values (e.g. min/max zoom levels).
• Disabled deletion of initialView.global, which was causing exceptions.
• Adjusted default language in the configSlice.
• Ensured tiles are shown only if they exist and the config setting useTiles is true.

Improved

• Improvided the Settings Panel UI. Now it has sections / subsections with different identation levels. Each element also shows a “hover” text explaining how the config element works.
• Adjusted the default settings for several options, like POI category icons now showing in full color by default.
• Increased the height of the SettingsPanel and showed “auth” config options there.
• Initial zoom, pitch, and bearing now appear in the full config file.
• Exposed new settings for adjusting POI label fontSize, fontWeight, and outline width, and navigation configurations.
• Moved certain settings such as debug mode, embed mode, and RTL to internal config fields.
• Minor naming changes and translation corrections.
• Enhanced CurrentState and InitialState sections in Settings Panel

Internals

• Removed some unused selectors/reducers, unused config fields, and the unused custom_css_url config.
• Remove unused config fields: i18n.acceptedLanguages, organization_color, minBearing, maxBearing, maxPitch, minPitch, global
• Changed camera.maxZoom / camera.minZoom data type from string to number.
• Changed some default values, such as some colors (POIs, labels, POIs show in full-color instead of grayscale…), numerical values (minZoom to show POI names to 1)…

Version 1.6.4 – May 16, 2023 #

Fixed

• Fix default language being set when config file is in use. This caused to use the default language (en) even when no language is set in the config file
• Fix center on poi when fitPOISonFilterByCategory=true.
• Improve settings panel l&f in mobile phones

Version 1.6.3 – May 12, 2023 #

Fixed

• Fix POI not being propertly shown on map while filtering by subcategory

Version 1.6.2 – May 12, 2023 #

Fixed

• Fix route computation for routes with several segments on the same floor. Now we define current segments as those that are on the floor that is being displayed and anactive segment is defined as the segment that contains the current step. On a static route the active segment will be given by the indication that is selected, however while on navigation the active segment will always be the segment that contains the current location. Also note that all points and indication nodes that are contained on current segments but not on the active segment will be translucent.
• Extract common logic of route computation and floor change detection from NavigationLayer and StaticRouteLayer. Route computation for static routes is now memoized.
• Now indications on web static routes are computed from steps instead of segments.

Version 1.6.1 – May 11, 2023 #

• Add new config to change behaviour for center and change to the floor where pois are present when
  filtering by category, option available map.behaviourfitPOISonFilterByCategory.

Version 1.3.0 – April 25 2023 #

Added

Centralized settings

• Moved all the application settigns to a common domain configurable from multiple data sources: remote config file, custom fields, url params and a fallback config.
• Allow to set a remote config file to load all the settings
• New settings panel to tinkle with the config settings

Experimental events/actions API

• Publish experimental events/actions api to interact with the map viewer via postMessage WebAPI. Examples available in: docs/examples
• Move all postMessage message handling to a library
• Allow to hide POIs adding the hidden custom field

Improved

Navigation and directions

• Now the static route calculator delegates on the SDK to calculate routes when the mode is set to embed, sending a specific web view message.
  This message contains all the necessary information to calculate a route between two arbitrary points.
• Now the map-viewer waits for (and handles) a specific message to draw the aforementioned route.
• The UI for the navigation ETA was centered horizontally.
• Updated both directions and navigation messages to send the same payload, created with a new createRouteRequestPayload() function.
• Now calls to calculateStaticRoute are avoided when the same route was already calculated, in StaticRoutesPanel.
• Changed navigation slice to handle a new “calculating” state. This state is used to show a progress indicator.

Internals

• Improve the geojson parsing in buildings, handle geojson parsing errors propertly
• Use Mapbox as top map layer instead of DeckGL (this allows to use two finger gestures as native events and improves overall performance)
• Use embed supercluster dependency to allow us to clusterize on floating zoom level values instead of only integer.
