Add a custom WebGL layer to Azure Maps

Enhancing your Azure Maps with a custom WebGL layer opens up a realm of possibilities for rendering dynamic 2D and 3D data. While Azure Maps provides a robust set of built-in features, there are times when you may require a more tailored solution. This is where the power of a custom WebGL layer shines.

WebGL, a cross-platform and royalty-free web standard, empowers you to harness low-level 3D graphics right in your web browser. By utilizing WebGL, Azure Maps gains a performance edge, surpassing the capabilities of standard HTML canvas rendering. However, it’s important to note that WebGL’s low-level nature adds complexity and may not always align with straightforward business solutions.
