Nanovg map API

The new map API for Nanovg is missing lots of features. It doesn't include 2D direction orientation (north up/heading/track path). It doesn't have navigation route, airways, airport boundary, air navigation chart...

All of this is present on the javascript/html version of the map. We require all of these features to be available on Nanovg for our upcoming aircraft product.


Is all of this being implemented? Or I'm just missing something?

The Coherent/JS API also does not include any of the things you mention: all of that is done on top of the map graphic by drawing on the canvas with code.

Similarly, you would need to do the same in C++, using the NanoVG canvas to draw layers on top of the base map graphics. Rotation is handled on the code side as well, by rotating the received map image by the desired angle in code.
