About

Mapbox is a cloud-based mapping platform that enables developers to embed customizable maps, navigation, and location search into web, mobile, and embedded applications.

It provides APIs, SDKs, and tools such as Mapbox Studio for designing maps, supports interactive and static maps with vector tiles and 3D rendering, enables routing and geocoding, allows uploading and visualizing custom geospatial data, and combines data from over 150 sources.

OpenStreetMap is a free, editable world map project that provides open geographic data created and maintained by a global community of contributors.

Its data includes roads, buildings, points of interest, and transport networks, supports detailed tagging, enables full data export and custom map rendering, and is released under the Open Database License, which allows copying, modification, and commercial use with attribution and the requirement to keep derived data open.
