    render: function (gl, matrix) {
      camera.update(mapInstance, matrix);

      camera.view;            // <-- view matrix
      camera.projection;      // <-- projection matrix
      camera.viewProjection;  // <-- projection*view matrix
      camera.world;           // <-- world matrix

      camera.positionFromLngLatAlt([13.418314, 52.49871, 10]) // calculates world position from LngLatAlt coordinates

      mapInstance.triggerRepaint();
