Mapbox announces new location intelligence platform updates at BUILD with Mapbox
Saturday, December 3, 2022
New Mapbox products, features and programs help developers and organizations solve the toughest geolocation challenges in innovative ways to deliver positive outcomes
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mapbox, the leading maps and location platform powering a new generation of location-aware applications, today announced new products that empower developers and organizations to make better data-driven decisions, develop easier and faster, and drive intuitive and seamless user experiences with innovative location technologies. From fitness trackers and connected vehicles to logistics and business intelligence, location is essential to how we navigate, get hundreds of services on demand, and understand complex information quickly.
About the Mapbox Platform Updates
Make better decisions with data
-- The new Matrix API delivers improved up-to-date routes and ETAs enabling
advanced functionality on fleet optimization and cost savings with
future departure time capability that accounts for traffic patterns.
-- Mapbox Boundaries v4 increases the coverage and granularity of
industry-leading datasets with over 200,000 new or updated geographic
boundaries across the Americas and Asia, powering geospatial analytics
and visualizations.
Easier and faster development
-- Maps Internationalization dramatically improves the global user
experience while saving hours or days of backend coding. Developers now
only need to build a finite set of Maps styles to dynamically display a
wide range of maps in the local language and worldview of their
customers' preferences.
-- Navigation SDK with Drop-In UI is a pre-made navigation layout that
speeds deployment of navigation embedded in an application while
enabling customization for use-case and brand-specific requirements.
-- Navigation SDK Copilot provides fleet organizations with insights into
their route performance through detailed trace files and search
analytics to improve driver experience and fine tune routes.
Drive amazing user experiences
-- Mapbox Globe View, the pinnacle of map visualization, offers developers
an alternative to the flat and skewed Mercator Projection when they want
to present globally or continentally scaled location stories.
-- Mapbox Studio provides enhanced organization and collaboration features.
Developers can now create and name folders, move styles around, and
search and sort projects effortlessly. The ability for collaborators to
easily enter a project and pick up where a colleague left off is a key
advantage for large projects with multiple developers.
-- The Mapbox Core Styles have been redesigned to offer sleek, contemporary
motifs without sacrificing functionality. Building upon already
industry-leading performance, the redesigned Core Styles save developers
countless hours they would have spent building their own base maps.
-- Mapbox Developer Relations Program has been revamped with new content,
community, and developer tool initiatives to ensure builders find
success quickly and thrive.
These platform updates will be presented today at BUILD with Mapbox, a virtual event that also highlights the innovations of ANWB, Nextdoor, OneSoil, PicNic, The World Bank, Toyota Motor North America, and Varicent.
