## What it is
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
