Mapbox

Mapbox provides a mapping and location platform with APIs and SDKs that allow developers to add maps, navigation, search and geospatial data to applications without mapping expertise. The company has spent more than a decade building the underlying infrastructure, combining work by developers, geographers, data scientists and designers to enable custom maps and location experiences. Its platform operates across mobile and web, with continuously updated maps and real-time location services processing large volumes of data.

The technical work spans mapping and geospatial technology, location-based services, real-time data processing, navigation, local search, AI and computer vision, data science, and mobile and web development. Applications of the platform include emergency services, autonomous vehicles, navigation and transportation, local discovery and places, and location-based applications for mobile and web.

Mapbox describes itself as a global team of builders, with a stated belief that location data should be accessible to everyone and a focus on tools that can be used by people without specialist mapping knowledge. The company cites real-world uses of its technology including emergency response, autonomous vehicle safety and place discovery.
