Maps are no longer static. Our maps represent the ever-evolving world, accessing, aggregating, and adapting anonymous data from millions of sensors and phones in real-time. Mapbox has the exciting opportunity to power devices and products across the next frontier in location-based data, such as Internet of Things and AR/VR.

 

Whether you’re watching the delivery of your grocery order on Instacart, looking at a gym on ClassPass, sending your snaps on Snap, tracking your personal best on Strava, monitoring your gas budget on Metromile, or checking today’s forecast on The Weather Channel, Mapbox is the location and maps within those apps. We’re changing how people move by live-mapping the world. We are the developer platform for location.

Who We Are

Our support team consists of developers, designers, educators, and writers. We write code examples, publish documentation, provide direct email support, answer questions on StackOverflow, and build small applications to speed up our internal processes. We are knowledgeable about every part of the Mapbox stack and collaborate with teams across time zones to incorporate user feedback and perspectives into our product. We are as invested in Mapbox tools and the people building them as we are in our users. We are the platform experts, our users not only write us when they have a problem, they consult with us on the best configuration options available for their applications.
