Show Map

Show Map

Render a map_3d (local/regional) or a volumetric_globe (world-scale) centered on the requested place with optional markers.

Steps

1. Geocode the place(s) to {lat, lon} (provider; offline use known

coordinates).

1. Pick the widget: city/region → map_3d; multiple far-flung places or

"the world" → volumetric_globe with markers/arcs.

1. Choose zoom + style (streets|satellite|terrain|dark) to fit the content.
2. Render with show_map / show_globe; the map prefers a surface anchor

so it sits on a table.

1. React to select_marker / zoom / pan events.

Output

map_3d (show_map, props per registry.json):

{ "widget_type": "map_3d",
  "transform": { "anchor": "surface", "position": [0.0,0.05,0.0] },
  "props": { "center": { "lat": 35.6762, "lon": 139.6503 }, "zoom": 11, "style": "satellite",
             "pitch_deg": 50,
             "markers": [ { "lat": 35.6586, "lon": 139.7454, "label": "Tokyo Tower", "color": "#FF5252" } ] },
  "interactions": ["tap","grab","drag","resize","slider"] }

World view (show_globe → volumetric_globe):

{ "widget_type": "volumetric_globe",
  "props": { "style": "earth",
             "markers": [ { "lat": 35.68, "lon": 139.69, "label": "Tokyo", "color": "#FF5252" } ],
             "arcs": [ { "from_lat": 35.68, "from_lon": 139.69, "to_lat": 40.71, "to_lon": -74.0, "color": "#4FC3F7" } ],
             "auto_rotate": true } }

Edge cases

• Geocode fails → ask for a more specific place; don't guess coordinates.
• Many markers → cluster or raise zoom-out; keep labels legible.
• "How do I get there?" → that's wayfind, not just a map.
• Indoor / room-scale → maps are for geographic places; use measuring /

spatial memory for in-room layout.

• Surface available? → if no horizontal surface in client.scene, fall back

to a world-anchored map in front of the user.
