Mapbox.js also awesome. > > **Cons**: For starter companies who has no really income at the beginning but their business would like to use mapbox for commercial purposes, I think its a bit expensive. ----- ### "Steep Learning Curve but Worth the Effort from Amazing Results" — 5.0/5 > **Andy** | *4 February 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This mapping application is by far the most advanced tool for map development. It literally does whatever your imagination can dream up\! > > **Cons**: There is quite a steep learning curve but with some Youtube digging and tutorials for members there is a massive amount to learn if you are not familiar with basic programming. > > 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\! ----- ### "Open source SDK" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 November 2019* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mapbox is a solid map alternative to Google and Apple maps. Tesla uses it, Uber used to... It's nice for programming and customizable with good documentation for your own app. > > **Cons**: It can be expensive (but I'm not the one paying it haha). The API is not editable, only the SDK is, so not the entire software is customizable, only some. > > It is nice to be able to read documentation about the SDK and such. Overall I still use google maps for daily use, but I happen to program with Mapbox frequently. ----- ### "Good vector maps provider" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 September 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It provides you the ability to have the English language instead of local while zooming in real-time. A big plus. > > **Cons**: The number of bugs on their repo on Github > > Pretty good. Did not encounter any major issues with service or software. ----- ### "Beautifully designed maps with lots of features" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 May 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: MapBox is amazing for developing interactive map software solutions. The ability to view and toggle 3D layers, their additional tools, and their visualization features makes MapBox one of the best map solutions out there > > **Cons**: The price point for private applications is a little bit confusing. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2062842/mapbox?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2062842/mapbox) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
