Description
Hello Mapbox Team,
I am currently integrating Mapbox Navigation in my Android application. I would like to use the Drop-In Navigation UI, which was available in Navigation SDK v2. It provided a complete navigation experience (maneuver view, trip progress, camera handling, recenter, overview, etc.) with minimal setup.
However, I am now using Navigation SDK v3 (latest), and I am unable to find the Drop-In UI dependency for v3. From what I understand, in v3 we need to manually integrate multiple components such as ManeuverView, TripProgressView, NavigationCamera, RouteLine, etc., which makes the implementation more complex and time-consuming.
My concern is:
Drop-In UI is available in v2 but not in v3
v3 is the latest and recommended version for long-term support
Using v2 may not be ideal for future updates and support
I would prefer using v3 with a Drop-In style navigation UI
Could you please confirm:
Is Drop-In Navigation UI available for Navigation SDK v3 (Android)?
If yes, could you share the dependency and documentation?
If not, are there any plans to provide a Drop-In UI for v3?
Is there any recommended alternative to achieve Drop-In-like behavior in v3?
I would really appreciate your guidance, as I want to continue using the latest SDK while keeping the navigation implementation simple.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Android Developer
