Scale Map to Real World Dimension and Camera Zoom Using C# and Mapbox API in Unity
This video provides a C# script that changes the size of the map automatically based on the distance from the camera and real-world measurements.
It shows how to scale Mapbox map so that every unit in Unity equals one meter in the real world.
It calculates the map width and height in meters based on the size of a plane that fills and matches the game view in Unity. Then, translate the width and height to the bounding box parameters of Mapbox Static Images API to define the map borders using C#. The result is a map where each unit in Unity equals one meter in the real world.
This is useful in applications with architectural and real-life implications where the scale to the real world matters.
Mapbox offers a free tier for each product, which allows you to use the API for free within limited requests per month.
