Maps SDK for Web V6 has become the main official SDK!

New features in this release:

  • New "Drawing tool" plugin
  • Added "Drawing tools" example
  • Added support for AbortController to services requests
  • Updated "Supporting points" example with AbortController

Summary of main features of V6:

  • Support for Merged Style which combines multiple styles defining the look and feel of the display layers including map layers, traffic layers, and POI layers.
  • Better customization of the single style thanks to the compatibility with TomTom Map Styler.
  • Consistency in using map & traffic display between Web & Mobile SDKs.
  • Integration of the Extended Search API (POI Photos and POI Details) and Extended Routing API (Long Distance EV Routing).
  • New examples including a group of Animations.
  • Traffic Incident icons are loaded from the sprite (not as .SVG)
  • Watch the intro video on TomTom Youtube channel

Breaking changes (compared to V5):

  • Limitation in marker customization for traffic incidents. In V6, Map Styler must be used in order to replace the marker/icon in the map to a custom one (you have to edit style to replace the icon). See the "Custom incident markers and popups" example.
  • Removed TraffiFlowTilesTier and TrafficIncidentTier classes. See "Traffic Layers" example.
  • Removed support for setting maps style with schema.
  • IE11 browser is no longer supported by Web SDK
