## Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles in Builder

May 8th, 2026

<mark style="color:green;">**New**</mark> *Builder*

Bring your maps to life with our new CARTO Builder basemap option: **Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles**. This high-fidelity representation of the world built from aerial and satellite imagery lets you explore your data on top of detailed 3D buildings and terrain.&#x20;

Your data will automatically cover the surface of buildings and other 3D terrain features, allowing you to understand the data in real-world context. This can be incredibly useful for urban planning, real estate or insurance use cases.

Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles span over **2,500 cities across 49 countries.** See Google's [Photorealistic 3D Tiles coverage](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/tile/coverage) for the latest list of supported areas.

## Reorder categorical legend entries in Builder

April 20th, 2026

<mark style="color:orange;">**Improvement**</mark> *Builder*

Categorical and ordinal legend entries can now be reordered in Builder to improve map readability. Categories can be sorted by frequency or alphabetically, in ascending or descending order.\
\
Reordering only affects the legend’s reading order, colors remain fixed to each category, so the map visualization does not change.

Learn more in our [Legend documentation](/carto-user-manual/maps/legend.md).

## Click interactions now show every overlapping feature

April 15th, 2026

<mark style="color:orange;">**Improvement**</mark> *Builder*

Click interactions in Builder now paginate across every feature at clicked location, in both pop-up and info panel modes. When overlapping polygons, overlapping lines, or multiple records sharing the same geometry sit at the same spot, you can step through all of them within a layer instead of only seeing the top one.\
\
Previously, clicking a stacked location surfaced only a single feature and the rest were unreachable without zooming in or filtering the data. The new prev/next controls let you browse all of them, with the map highlighting updating as you paginate.

Learn more in our [Click interactions documentation](/carto-user-manual/maps/interactions.md#click-type-interactions).
