This opening keynote covers the story of MapTiler, its vision for the future of cartography, and launches three major new product innovations. The MapTiler Story and Vision: MapTiler began as Klokan Technologies, a consulting business started by two coders fresh out of university. Driven by curiosity and a "rebel approach," they innovated using cutting-edge technology to solve customer problems. They contributed significantly to open source and digital cartography, receiving two Space Oscars from the European Space Agency. MapTiler was spun off five years ago to provide comfortable and guaranteed products based on open maps at scale. Core Belief: The map is not just a tool or image; it's a communication medium where people tell and consume stories and information. Vision: MapTiler should be the publishing platform for this new web communication medium. Mission: Making maps easy. This means maps are both easy to consume and easy to create. Impact: Over 9,000 businesses and organizations, and more than 500 million people (roughly one in every ten people connected to the internet), interact with MapTiler maps. The Future of Cartography (AI and Devices): The future of maps is heavily influenced by deep learning, LLMs, and new devices. AI Integration: AI will enable smart maps that change content based on user intent and can generate map styles to fit a brand or text prompt. Device Changes: Advancements in wearables, mobile phones, and 3D displays will drive personalization and changes in user interaction, leading to both cinematic, attractive maps and simplified navigation (like a single arrow). WebGPU: MapTiler is pioneering technology on the new WebGPU standard, which is critical for future performance and client-side processing. Three Major Product Announcements: New Generation of Maps: After two years of work, MapTiler launched a new internal structure for its base maps. This provides greater detail (including crosswalks, traffic lights, and individual trees) and allows users control over map density and content. Expanded SDKs (Swift and Kotlin): The developer toolbox is expanded with new lightweight Swift and Kotlin wrappers for iOS and Android native development. This joins the existing TypeScript SDK, offering a consistent API with comfortable features like automatic language adjustment, dark mode, 3D globe, and Augmented Reality (AR) controls. GeoSplats Beta Launch: A new, photorealistic 3D visualization technology based on enhanced Gaussian Splatting is launched in beta. GeoSplats allow for unlimited size 3D models with industry-leading realism, high frame rates powered by WebGPU, and smooth integration into any MapTiler map. Call to Action: MapTiler is focused on making maps easy to help everyone understand the world better.
