Hello reddit.

So what is the future proof solution to develop a map centric windows desktop application right now?

I have to start a new project where the client needs a native Windows 10 desktop application, as important requirements are going to be made intensive use on maps: drawing of a large number of elements on the map, drawing of custom polygons and lines, infowindows, contextual menus and most likely representation of 3D models (although this is not certain).

It’s been a while since I’ve developed for desktop environments so I ask for your help and advice. Is UWP a viable and future option? Is WPF still an alternative? The most important thing from my point of view is to have a technology that allows me to work with maps efficiently (good rate of FPS and good performance in general).

Thanks in advance community.
