You can use the Photorealistic 3D Maps in Maps JavaScript API to render GLTF 3D models directly into 3D
maps. These realistic 3D objects can represent buildings, landmarks, or other
custom objects, and can enhance both the visual appeal and functionality of your
maps.
To add a model to a map, use the gmp-model-3d element, as shown below. Models
are clamped to the ground by default when omitting the altitude-mode attribute.
