MapKit with ARKit and overlays

Flyover mode in Apple Maps allows  AR/VR style interaction.  This is not by default available for iOS developers using underlaying MapKit/ARKit technology.  However it is possible to test it and the following short video is about this proof of concept – viewing cadastral maps (iKatastr)  in VR like experience on iPad .  Btw. Flyover mode on iOS 11  has some strange handling of overlays – described here so loading of tiles is little bit tricky. The iOS 10 version was much more better (check the video here)
