Security
A platform for data analytics and visualization, in the cloud or on your private infrastructure.
Our customers use the Mapbox platform to visualize crime statistics, track personnel and equipment, and quickly map disasters with imagery sent from drones in real-time.
Police.uk crime map
Police.uk provides citizens with street-level crime data in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. You can search data by neighborhood or filter by type to reveal concentrations of crime activity. With the Mapbox API, citizens can even draw their own polygons to view crime data within custom boundaries.

HD video from space
Seeing movement and direction within satellite imagery unlocks a new dimension for monitoring. This clip, captured by Skybox SkySat-1 from two million feet above, shows multiple planes landing at Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK). Using the video's timestamp and public flight logs, the plane at the top of the video can be identified as Air China flight 1310, a wide-body Airbus 330 flying from Guangzhou to Beijing. This video is seamlessly integrated into the basemap and paired with other data sources, allowing for a stunning imagery visualization with all the context of a full street map.
Drone imagery
You can upload imagery and video from drones in one click with our APIs. From there, you can annotate the imagery, overlay insights, and then share it with your team in real-time. From disaster mapping to guiding real-time operations, Mapbox makes it happen.
Powerful mobile tools
