Next Generation TomTom 3D Map Renderer

Prototype and Production Engineering of the Next Generation TomTom 3D Map Renderer.

• Completely rewritten in C++ with a focus on portability towards older architectures.
• Better utilisation of mobile GPU architectures through improved usage of Vertex and Fragment shader functionalities.
• Intensive usage of boost libraries for allowing an elegant introduction of a new programming paradigm, whilst keeping backwards portability
• High scalability of the framework for utilising multi-threading mobile architecture when possible.
• Continuous integration and testing on mobile architectures (Android, iOS) and desktop environments (OSX and Linux)
• Constant 100% unit test coverage.
• Renderer Visual Test for every graphical feature and functionality
• Compatible with the official automotive NDS map format.
• Dedicated communication protocol with NavKit service (onboard (TCP) or online(HTTP) services available)

I am happy to update that in 2020, 4 years after I left Tomtom, finally they managed to deploy it to production in an interesting Android app that can be now freely downloaded from Google Play.
