Giro3D is a Javascript library for visualizing geospatial data on the Web. Used in particular by the Piero application, it is compatible with a wide range of raster and vector data sources, as well as 3D data such as point clouds.

Version 0.35 brings a number of new features, including significant performance enhancements useful for complex scenes with numerous data sources.

Performance improvements

These improvements mainly concern the display of raster data (color or elevation) on the Map entity:

  • Reduced memory usage of Map tiles
  • Reduced image display latency on the Map
  • Reduction in the number of HTTP requests made
  • Increased tile processing speed
