I'm a beginner in Android development.

Trying to make an app with 3D markers on a google maps, but obviously only able to do flat or regular markers.

is there a way to make 3D markers / models somehow? Maybe an invisible layer of canvas above the map or another map service other than google?

Thanks!

I wrote an article about that on Medium. You can check it out, it's a long explanation. But basically, you can use a layer above the map with sprite animations :p

  • Great! Now that this article is 2 years old. Do you know of any better implementation to achieve this? – Mohsin Falak Feb 05 '23 at 13:41
