maplibre-rs is a portable vector map renderer written in Rust that uses WebGPU for cross-platform rendering on web, mobile, and desktop. It aims to be compliant with the MapLibre Style Spec and serves as a proof-of-concept for GPU-based map rendering.

Use cases

• render vector tile maps in a web browser with WebGPU
• embed native map rendering in mobile apps on Android and iOS
• display interactive maps in desktop Linux applications
• prototype a MapLibre Style Spec compliant renderer in Rust
• render geospatial data with GPU acceleration
• build cross-platform map visualization with a single Rust codebase

When to choose

• you need a Rust-native map renderer targeting web, mobile, and desktop from one codebase
• you want to experiment with WebGPU for geospatial rendering
• you need a MapLibre Style Spec renderer without JavaScript dependencies
• you are building a proof-of-concept or research project around GPU map rendering

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready, feature-complete map renderer today
• you require the full ecosystem and stability of MapLibre GL JS or native SDKs
• your target browsers lack WebGPU support
• you need turn-by-turn navigation or consumer mapping features like Google Maps
