Does anyone know if they are planning perspective (affine) transformation? Specifically, relief maps drawn at the correct (or exaggerated) elevation, with the labels still drawn upright?
Yes, eventually.

#42Sooooo... where do I get the WebGL (demo on the page) version? I want that.

#43Hard coded compiler version? Could not find compiler set in environment variable CC: gcc-4.8. I'm running gcc-4.9. I got it working by doing: ln -s /usr/bin/gcc ~/bin/gcc-4.8 ln -s /usr/bin/g++ ~/bin/g++-4.8 I'm not saying this is good practice, but it works. Also need to make sure python means python2.
Thanks for noting these issues. I've made a note about Python 2.x in the readme ( https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/commit/ae7e3de61c... ). As far as the compiler, g++-4.9 is fine to use. If you hit an error with it could you share the details in an issue? https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/issues
I had to change:
#!/usr/bin/env python
to:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
in the python scripts to get it working under archlinux. If this works on the other platforms, that might be a good change.

#44The vector map demo on the page has a serious issue with street names not showing up until you zoom way in, so far in that you can't see the context of the street anymore. I assume this is for performance purposes, but it makes the map feel much less usable than Apple Maps in my opinion. For comparison: Apple Maps: http://i.imgur.com/jqPHej2.png vs Mapbox Maps: http://i.imgur.com/rVH775b.png
You do realize that this 100% configurable by stylesheets? The entire point is, that their maps are stylable by the user (i.e. the app developer).
The problem being that I might not know this particular thing is configurable. They need better defaults.
