What do you like best about Mapbox?

I've used Mapbox for creating map-based data visualizations, primarily via Mapbox Studio. I like the ease of use and ease of publishing online for embedded visualizations, as well as the options for customizing the style of the maps. I'm also very impressed with how responsive the maps are for the viewer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mapbox?

Data visualization. The primary win is for a non-geo-expert like me to create professional-looking visualizations for communicating with colleagues and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mapbox?

What do you dislike about Mapbox?

There is limited control over scale when exporting maps for print applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mapbox:

Great and easy for simple mapping projects, but there is a steep learning curve if you want more customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mapbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used MapBox to create custom maps for a print guidebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
