New MapKit JS Release

MapKit JS 5.23.0 includes new APIs for region and zoom limits, an updated Maps logo, and more.

New Features

• Added the cameraDistance property, which sets the altitude of the camera above the center of the map. A change to the map's camera distance can be animated with setCameraDistanceAnimated.

• Added the cameraZoomRange property, which restricts zooming to a specified minimum and maximum camera distance. A change to the map's camera zoom range can be animated with setCameraZoomRangeAnimated.

• Added the cameraBoundary property, which restricts panning to a specified coordinate region. A change to the map's camera boundary can be animated with setCameraBoundaryAnimated.

• Enabled Directions support for users in China.

• Updated logo in lower left corner from  to Maps.

Updated

• Fixed issue where importGeoJSON would not import a GeometryCollection nested within a Feature.

• Improved how the default marker annotation color is set depending on the map's colorScheme. Setting a marker annotation's color property to null sets a default color that matches the current colorScheme.

• Updated the Legal link on the map to open a web page, instead of displaying a menu.

The currently supported version is 5.18.0.
