Mapbox is a location data platform for mobile and web applications. They provide building blocks to add location-based features such as maps, search, and navigation into any experience you create.
Mapbox is built on a platform of live-updating global data. Their secure data pipeline processes over 250 million miles of anonymized traffic data per day. Through apps powered by Mapbox, including Bosch, Snap, Lonely Planet, Tableau, Red Bull, DoorDash, The Weather Channel, and Hotels.com, they reach more than 520 million people each month.
Mapbox was born out of Development Seed and the necessity to build new tools and platforms for positive impact projects including those with The World Bank, United Nations, The Red Cross and other NGO and not-for-profit organizations. Since 2010, they have quickly expanded their offering of mapping and location-based APIs and SDKs to offer many tools for developers who want to build with maps.
