Version 3 of the Maps SDK for Android is a new implementation with the same API surface as the previous version (all classes and methods remain the same).

The main areas of change Maps SDK for Android v.3 are as follows:

From the documentation:

  • The Maps SDK for Android is now distributed via a standalone static library. Previously, the Maps SDK for Android was made available as part of Google Play services.
  • Android 4.0-4.0.4 ("Ice Cream Sandwich") is no longer supported.
  • Map rendering has been modernized and improved.
  • Text labels for POIs are now clickable, rather than just the icon.
  • Business POIs are now visible in indoor maps.
  • Added incident reports icons to the traffic layer, such as roadworks, crashes, and traffic jams. These show in Normal, Hybrid and Terrain mode.
  • Added support for 3D buildings with full models, e.g. Eiffel Tower.
  • Increased opacity of 3D buildings to match the Google Maps application.
  • Resolved an issue where markers were loading slowly (Issue 35822423).
