Overview
MapLibre Native is a free and open-source library for showing interactive vector tile maps in mobile and desktop applications. It renders maps on the GPU for fast display and supports platforms such as iOS and Android. The project began as a fork of Mapbox GL Native, before Mapbox moved to a non-open-source license in December 2020. On Android you add it as a Gradle dependency and place a MapView in your layout.
