Any new update? Our product (built on top of Unity 6) release is blocked by this.

They are deprecating maps: [Maps SDK Sunset Notice | Niantic Spatial, Inc.](https://www.nianticspatial.com/products/maps-sdk-notice)
I recommend giving Mapbox a try: [GitHub - mapbox/mapbox-unity-sdk: Mapbox Unity SDK - https://www.mapbox.com/unity/](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-unity-sdk/tree/develop). I am currently working with an old version that I have heavily modified, but a new version has just been released that will probably cause fewer problems with the latest Unity versions: [GitHub - mapbox/mapbox-unity-sdk at sdk3](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-unity-sdk/tree/sdk3). I’m not sure if they will actively maintain it in the long term, but right now I think it’s the best option for integrating simple maps in Unity. You can ask them questions about this latest release in this thread: [This project is dead? · Issue #1912 · mapbox/mapbox-unity-sdk · GitHub](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-unity-sdk/issues/1912).
Regarding Niantic, I wonder why they don’t even bother answering simple questions like yours. It seems as though nobody cares anymore.

Appreciate the information! I will check out the mapbox sdk.
