- Animated / thick / smooth country borders! Use sample textures or add your own with custom color, width and patterns
- Curved map mode.
- Day/night cycle.
- Optional minimap for quick navigation.
- Smooth runtime switching between 2D and 3D viewport mode
- Dynamic country and province labels with adaptive text to the terrain.
- Smart country label placement algorithm with curved text using TextMesh Pro!
- Line drawing system with animated dashing line support to show routes, throwing arcs, on-terrain paths, ...
- Tickers/banners support. Add scrolling / blinking messages over the map easily.

*** MAP FEATURES ***

✔ Offline features (does not require Internet connection):

- Cities are classified on normal cities, regional and country capitals.

✔ Online and Offline map tiles system supporting zoom up to street level. Includes cache and tile downloader assistant. Supports OpenStreetMap, Stamen, Carto, Wikimedia, ThunderForest, OpenTopoMap, MapBox, Sputnik and AerisWeather services out of the box (service may require special license). Ability to connect to custom tile servers.

*** OTHER MAP FEATURES ***

- Map Editor for creating or modifying countries, provinces and cities, including a territories importer tool that automatically creates frontiers based on color textures.
- Map Generator: create random world maps including countries and province borders, cities, random names and textures (heightmap, background texture, water mask, etc) using a few sliders, options and buttons!
- Customize the map as you wish: change textures or water/fog color, add textures to provinces or countries, or color fill them, ... at design or runtime.
- Mount Points support. Define your own strategic / landmarks with location, type and custom attributes over the map to easily use them during the game for positioning units, buildings, control zones, ...

*** GRID & PATH-FINDING FEATURES ***

- Hexagonal grid optimized for low vertex count and highest frame rate. Color/texture any cell. Cell effects like blink, flash, fade out.
- Path-finding engine based on A* algorithm for unit movement. Assign terrain capabilities to your units and they will automatically take the optimal path. Paths can be calculated based on world positions, country to country (Risk style), province to province or hexagonal grid cells (classic strategy games).
- Define cell crossing costs per cell or per edge.
- Roads.

- One line of code to move units over map according to terrain capabilities (water, land and air units), terrain costs, elevation constraints, etc.
- Custom attributes for countries, provinces, cities, mount points, grid cells and game units. JSON support.
- Calculator. Convert from lat/lon to plane coordinates and vice versa.
- Comprehensive documentation (91 pages manual).
