Introduction
Mapbox is a mapping and location cloud platform for developers. It provides the SDKs and APIs for developers and designers to build real time location awareness into their own apps.
Capabilities, Benefits, and Key Features
- Provides APIs, SDKs, and live updating map data
- Mapbox Studio gives designers control over everything from colors and fonts, to 3D features and camera angles, to the pitch of the map as a car enters a turn.
- Provides powerful routing engines, accurate, traffic-powered travel times, and intuitive turn-by-turn directions to build navigation experiences.
- The Mapbox Vision SDK describes every curb, lane, street sign, and road hazard it sees as data. Developers use the SDK's AI-powered semantic segmentation, object detection, and classification to deliver precise navigation guidance, display driver assistance alerts, and detect and map road incidents.
- Atlas allows developers to self-host Mapbox maps and geocoding APIs, Streets, Satellite, and Terrain tilesets, and Mapbox Studio on their network, behind a firewall, or even air-gapped.
