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

Comentarios: 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.

Puntos a favor:

Mapbox is fully customizable to a level I have never experienced before. Mapbox allows for custom maps that can include as much or as little as needed. For example, components that can be added include administrative boundaries, buildings, land and water, natural features, place labels, point of interests labels, road network, transit, and much more. Additionally, color pallets can be added for further customization. This full customization is truly amazing.

Contras:

Mapbox can be rather complex to use for someone just starting out. There is a rather steep learning curve. The software is so powerful and complex that it can make things hard.

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

What I like most about this tool is that it is in the cloud. You do not have to go through difficult installation processes like with similar products. It is easy to work, even if you are not from the GIS area or have another career not related to geography. I like the possibility of interaction that has the data on a map. It is perfect for presentations to multidisciplinary groups of people who do not know how to analyze a map, since the final products possess qualities that traditional digital maps do not possess. Mapbox has known how to evolve in the field of GIS, combining the ease and practicality of similar services such as google maps, with the precision and efficiency in editing and processing proprietary software data such as Argis. The best part is that it is open source.

Contras:

It is a tool for online use, so when there are faults in the internet connection, obviously the quality of the mapbox service is limited. In addition, the tool has some free geoprocessing and upload functions to the cloud, but those of us working with GIS know that a map completed with its associated data base can weigh hundreds of MB, and that cloud storage space It is definitely not free and nothing affordable.

Worst map program I've ever used !!!

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

Puntos a favor:

Nothing at all....its the worst map program I have ever used.

Contras:

Its slow loading. Missing most road numbers. Half the terrain doesn't show up.

Beautiful software

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

Puntos a favor:

Mapbox makes it easy to create custom-colored maps, but that's not where its power lies. Mapbox's API allows us to implement custom maps and pins integrating our data simply. The vector-based map is fast and integration is simple with their documentation

Contras:

No real cons to speak of. You really need to be a programmer to work with mapbox though, lay people will find it challenging to implement.
