The track map will be a 3D map rendered using OpenGL. The 3D engine module (called JGL) was written separately, and will allow to render the Map.

Two modes will be available:

3D map: free camera to explore the map, 3D rendered objects.
2D map: top view camera, just like a map, with simpler models

It will also be interactive, meaning it will be possible to select objects from the maps to open their property menus, or to select multiple objects at the same time for some features.
