Description

I would like to open a discussion about Interleaved support.

Imagine that you have a DeckGL project where you want to change between MapLibre and Google Maps with interleave control. For MapLibre you would have something like this

<DeckGL
    initialViewState={INITIAL_VIEW_STATE}
    layers={layers}
    controller={true}
    onViewStateChange={...}>
    <MapLibre />
  </DeckGL>

where the camera control is done by Deck but if you change it to Google Maps with interleave support you would have something like this example where the map camera control is done by the Google Maps component instead DeckGL.

It's difficult to maintain and it can also be difficult to integrate with libraries like NebulaGL that interacts directly with the map events. So my question is if there would be a way to support interleave while keeping Deck as a wrapper of the map, for example:

<DeckGL
    initialViewState={INITIAL_VIEW_STATE}
    layers={layers}
    controller={true}
    onViewStateChange={...}>
    <Map interleaved={true} {...GOOGLE_MAPS_MAP_OPTIONS} />
  </DeckGL>

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked react-google-maps DeckGL overlay example and the proposed nested Map interleaved API in this issue. Determine whether the existing components can keep DeckGL as the wrapper while preserving interleaved rendering and DeckGL camera control. Done would require an agreed API design and working support for the described MapLibre-to-Google-Maps integration.
