MapBox

MapBox provides a suite of open source tools and services for creating and using custom maps in the cloud.

MapBox's TileMill toolkit is a fully configured open source tile rendering engine that can be used to create custom maps using any data set, whether your private data or freely available public sources. MapBox.com also makes large public data sets available for easy access and use. Combining TileMill and these data sets together, MapBox provides the framework that we use to make some of the most beautiful custom maps in the world.

In addition to these tools and data, MapBox also provides several custom-designed base maps – or "tilesets" – for free use by the public. These tiles can be integrated into your website using Google Maps, Open Layers, and other map browsers, including our Maps on a Stick browser that lets you view maps and data without an internet connection. For large scale users, we also offer a high availability SLA so that our tiles can be used with confidence in mission-critical applications and websites. For these same users, we also offer custom design and consulting services.
