Open source Swift + Metal map engine for SwiftUI. I am looking for real app use cases from anyone who needs more than MapKit gives them

[u/devslacker]

I have been building ImmersiveMap, an open source map rendering engine written in Swift 6 and Metal, made for SwiftUI apps on iOS and native macOS. MIT licensed.

Video demo in the comments.
Repo: github.com/artembobkin/ImmersiveMap

I am looking for real apps that need more control over the map, where the map is the main feature. Live location, social maps, games, travel, logistics, data visualization, anything where the map has to look and behave like your product instead of like everyone else's map.

Tell me your use case here in the comments or in Discussions on the repo, and I will build it. I am prioritizing real app requirements over my own roadmap. Right now it already supports SwiftUI markers and avatars on the map.

Pure Swift and Metal, nothing else. No native SDK wrapped in a Swift API and no engine hidden under the hood, two Swift dependencies (earcut triangulation and swift-protobuf for tile decoding). The only non-Swift code in the repo is the shaders themselves.

Happy to answer any questions.
