Community support from Mapbox is excellent. They care about good causes, non-profit work, and their official Community team makes a good faith effort to support them.

Receptionist

Mapbox it is very good if you want to produce maps with different tematics and different classifications. Some people uses it to produce architecture maps, which it is very good and oply oused.

GIS Coordinator

I love the ability to call to the Open Street Map API and style the maps with the easy tools provided from Mapbox's Studio editor. Mapbox was easy to incorporate into my projects.

Designer and Project Management

Getting through the documentation when you're stuck can be difficult.

Developer

Great support experience and the development process has been very solid.

My first option was Google maps, since in my mind they were the 'biggest' but when I found out about mapbox and their capabilities I realized I found the best solution.

C-Level

There is no support, you will be billed $$$$ out of the blue and the moment you inquire about it there is no one to talk to.

Director

It's possible to use this application to create stunning maps without being a programmer, however with some knowledge building of your own you can really achieve some incredible maps.

Frontend Developer

It has a steep learning curve for developers used to other APIs. Documentation examples are sometimes inadequate for understanding.

Software Developer

The price point for private applications is a little bit confusing.

Systems Administrator

Easy integration with may free and commercial API services.

Information Systems Manager

The restrictions around Google maps plugin to web projects make Mapbox a google alternative. It is a free service that does not require attaching a credit card to use.

MapBox Delivers Cost-Effective Mapping Solutions, but Lacks in Support

Thank you for your review - we look forward to working with and learning from the growing the community of Flutter developers building with Mapbox.

I was looking for a solution to display routes, and maps with customized "borders" and data.My first option was Google maps, since in my mind they were the 'biggest' but when I found out about mapbox and their capabilities I realized I found the best solution.The price is fair compared to the competitors and they offer a free-tier so you can start implementing features and only start paying once you grow your usage.

Definately dominating the market - the best option for any tool that requires map features

Thank you for your review, Niv! Very glad to hear about your positive experience - it's an honor to support developers like you.

Worst Experience from a company that doesn't care. 

Hello Tom - I apologize for the negative experience with higher than expected usage or costs from a custom implementation. I recommend contacting our Accounts & Billing support team if you have concerns or questions regarding unexpected charges. Please find instructions at: https://docs.mapbox.com/accounts/guides/invoices/#what-information-should-i-include-in-my-support-request 

As an architecture student and intern at a construction company, my experience using Mapbox was very positive, since this platform offers the necessary tools for the creation of interactive maps that complement the construction projects and architectural planning of the construction company, and helps me to complete my autonomous tasks on roads. Overall, Mapbox was a valuable and highly effective tool to enhance my work as an intern and helped me develop my daily freelance tasks at university.

Creation, customization, visualization and geospatial analysis of interactive maps with advanced tec

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and leave us a review, Isaac! We hope you'll continue to use your Mapbox skills.

Great support experience and the development process has been very solid. 

Mapbox for offline mobile app

We were forced to use it by CRO Software.  They swapped from Google Maps (which works 1000 times better) to Mapbox

Worst map program I've ever used !!!

Thank you for raising your concerns. It sounds like your software vendor might be having some implementation challenges in their switch to Mapbox. We will reach out to them to see if we can address these concerns.

Mapbox is my go-to source for building knowledge-driven map products usable by a broad and non-technical audience. The Community team ensures I have adequate support and resources to build them. 

Excellent non-profit support, ideal for quick map app development

Thank you for your review! It is great to have you part of the Mapbox community.

I love Mapbox

Thank you for your review! Glad you're loving Mapbox Studio - we do too :)

Overall, Mapbox is an amazing software that can complete basically any job needed. That said, for the average user just looking to do basic things, it can be hard to use. 

Mapbox is a super powerful mapping solution, but may be too much for the average user

Thank you for your review! So glad to hear you've been trying out the map customization options.

The most versatile geographic and cartographic management tool in the market.

It's possible to use this application to create stunning maps without being a programmer, however with some knowledge building of your own you can really achieve some incredible maps. Looking forward to seeing how this application will really expand with creative users!

Steep Learning Curve but Worth the Effort from Amazing Results

Beautifully designed maps with lots of features

ME ha gustado mas que maps google , lo siemto menos complicado que google maps y por eso me cambie a mapbox

Customizar tus mapas

Customize your maps

Thank you for your review! We're stoked to hear about your experience :)

It is very good, specially in the quality of the work. I do recommend for it. However, you need to be patient to undestand how to laying and classify the feactures to use.

Good production base on it

I like it very much

Map box took advantage of the option to offer open source 

Appropriate application to stay located, in the place where you are.

Great experience overall. Cheap compared to Google. If you are building an application yourself, invest in this over Google. 

Better than Google maps api

Thank you for your review - our team is happy to hear you're having a great experience with Mapbox!

Works great

Data visualisation using your web sdks allows us to improve airspace operations.

Great tool for web products but has limitations

Esperienza ottimale. Se vengono utilizzare con moderazione si può stare dentro anche ai piani gratuiti, soprattuto per lo sviluppo di mappe mobile in quanto vengono forniti 25000 accessi univoci da parte di utenti.

Mapbox the map killer in term of performance

Mapbox the map killer in terms of performance

Thank you for your review, we're glad to have you as a customer.

Overall the tool is must have for an aviation industry. Developers must have this skill to plot and locate geographic data on interactive map.

One API for all map solutions!

I've been able to make very detailed area maps of remote areas with historical styling and information

Very in-depth custom map creator with loads of options for developers and non-developers alike

We've been using Mapbox for about 4 years and 2 versions. we'll continue to use them moving forward.
