What would you like to see us add to this API?

I'd like you to find a way to allow higher tilt angles for the camera than the highly restrictive values it's currently clamped to.


What part of the API (please specify, a library, or the code module)?

Don't ask me.


Please describe how the feature should work:

I'd like to be able to view a vector map at 65 degrees with a zoom of 13, for example. I'd like the camera to have the freedom to be set at any tilt angle. This isn't an issue with other map providers, but according to your AI it's too "computationally intensive" for the poor old Google maps platform to handle. Please reconsider the tilt clamping angles you have imposed on the camera view. They are FAR too restrictive. At lower zoom levels (below 13, which isn't that far away in the big scheme of things) it's hard to even make out that the map is tilted even when set at maximum tilt. It all seems a little pointless with the current restrictions.


Please give a use case or explain where and why you need this feature:

I have pins on a map that I would like to show at such an angle as to include other nearby geographic features, giving a sense of where the pins are located in relation to other places on the map. In order to do this I need to tilt at angles your API won't allow. I can achieve this easily in Mapbox. If their developers can make it work flawlessly, I'm sure the best of the best at Google can do likewise.
