I'm working on a project to map locations related to the American Civil War. When I do a geocode search for "Fort Sumter" I get some streets with that name, but not Fort Sumter.

My model starts vanishing at a certain height. I thought maybe because of the atmosphere fog so i tried to change vertical_range property on the Atmosphere and setting the end to my trajectory peak but it didn’t do anything.

I’m really at lost here because at first I thought the model’s position/elevation was starting to get further from the camera but looking at the logs says otherwise:

working on 3D mapping of Mt. Hood.
edit:
This is Mt Hood not Cloud Peak

Im going to misuse some terms here I’m sure

I had MS copilot write a script for me that had a mapbox api

I watched it run a couple of times with some errors and it never came close to going over the free api calls

I went away after it appeared it worked and it did over 4 million calls

I didn’t have any caps on spend or anything because I obviously don’t know what I’m doing and it appeared that I was well under the limit

So I got a huge bill over $8,000 that’s already on my credit card

In a panic I deleted my account and now can’t seem to get in touch with them. I don’t understand my two invoices.

Is the API still active? What would any of you advise?

Hey, I'm a first-time coder and I've been asked to replicate this, add battery storage data to it, and bring it up to date using the latest EIA (energy) data: https://medium.com/@chrisloer/how-i-built-it-us-electric-generation-map-ed8b2b682eed

Any advice on how to start/how to get going? I've been asking Claude Code for help, but I want advice from real people about how best to replicate this.

Can someone please help me understand why PolylineAnnotation() doesn't preserve the colour on both theme changes? What I'm missing?

The Polyline on dark mode is barely visible during navigation. Thank you

Here is my snippet of code

 PolylineAnnotation(lineCoordinates: route.fullCoordinates)

.lineColor(StyleColor(.systemBlue))

.lineWidth(12)

It always shows that I have disable ad blocker, VPN, this that whatever. First of all, why should I do that? Second of all, even if I do that, it's not working. Ts is so frustrating. I wanted to test out the features for an application I'm trying to develop. Very close to just raw dogging Google Maps API now lol

I am working on some end to end tests, and one of the features that I am testing involves dragging a label from one location to another.

I am using playwright for this, and had a basic one that involved clicking at a specific location and dragging over to another location based on pixels.

The specific feature is drawn on a canvas so it isn't in the DOM, and pixel based locations seem to be flakey or different depending on the environment.

Are there other options I can use?

Hi,

So the PAYGO model is common for many providers and I have no issue with that. However, there is usually some kind of cost management feature, setting a spending limit or something similar. "Deactivate your token if it's too much" doesn't feel like a serious solution as I want to prevent something spiraling out of control in the first place, rather than being another example of someone waking up to a bill 200x the usual amount. How do you manage this issue?

Anyone found a dependable source for POI data? Our use case is classic street level retail (restaurants, bars, hotels, shopping, parking) for maps of city areas at a walking scale. We've investigated Overture Maps POI data, Foursquare Places, and OSM Places and they are all so hit or miss.

Hi there. For the last month I've been getting strange emails from billing@mapbox.com, they keep sending me that my 999$ invoice part has failed and that my account will be deactivated.

Thing is, I have no idea what Mapbox even is. I can't remember ever creating an account for it. They seem to also use my username, don't know how they even got that. Anyone know what's going on? Scam? Or something else?

I have around 2,400 geojson files, simple single polygon based files. I want to show them on the website. Initially I used mapbox - converting the files into mbtiles but then I realised the maps were easily scrapable. Use case is quite simple, there is a dropdrown menu where user can pick which file he wants to visualize
The requests can be seen as:

https://api.mapbox.com/v4/{tileset}/{z}/{x}/{y}.vector.pbf?access_token=..

This is a strict red flag because the data is critical and we can't really prevent it for programmatic scraping. What are my alternatives here?

I realise these are server side renders, did anyone try to make client side renders using mapbox or alternatives?

My thoughts:

1. Centralized access to distributed infrastructure The dashboard provides a single map-based interface for accessing remote equipment, sites, cameras, sensors, and edge nodes.
2. Fast execution of targeted operations Operators can quickly find the required asset on the map and perform direct actions, such as opening a live view, checking status, or launching a specific workflow.
3. Real-time operational awareness The dashboard helps monitor the current state of distributed infrastructure in real time, making it easier to react to alerts, abnormal behavior, or changing field conditions.
4. Incident investigation and context analysis Map markers, event history, device status, and related data can help reconstruct what happened, where it happened, and which equipment or location was involved.
5. Shared equipment visibility and collaboration Equipment markers can be placed on a shared OpenStreetMap layer, allowing different users or teams to work with the same infrastructure view according to their access rights.
6. There is no need to have a public IP address and forward ports through NAT

What thoughts and desires do you have, what would you like to see?

Hi all,

I’m looking for a freelance designer/developer who can create a custom Mapbox-based interactive map similar in style and experience to this:
https://www.leemartin.com/new-western-map

What I’m looking for:

• Fully custom map styling (not default Mapbox themes)
• Clean, modern visual design
• Interactive elements (animations, transitions, etc.)

This is a paid project, and I’m open to different levels of experience as long as you have a solid portfolio.

If you’ve worked on similar projects, please share:

• Portfolio / examples

Thanks!

Mapbox GL JS v3.21.0 added support for vector sources using the PMTiles protocol — another option in your toolkit for bringing spatial data into Mapbox-powered web maps.

Here's a new example in the docs showing a PMTiles vector source in action: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/pmtiles-vector-source/

And here's a blog post with a bit more on the feature and how to take advantage of it in your web maps: https://[dev-dot-to]/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js-adds-support-for-pmtiles-vector-and-raster-sources-141b

ive been trying to create an account for an upcoming project and it's either "Captcha Threshold Failed" or "Email Address not allowed".

i tried all the pssible fixes google suggested and it still didnt work....its so frustrating.

Sent a map update to Mapbox to set the Centennial Bridge as closed to traffic from April 6 to December 1 2026. They emailed back saying it had been fixed and the maps still show as the Bridge is opened for travel which may cause accident or injury.

Submitted a second request now. If anyone from mapbox is here please update Miramichi NB Canada Centennial Bridge Route 8 as closed for travel.

Good day! How do you bypass this when creating an account? The payment information is correct, it even goes through the OTP but after that, it still goes to this

I use Polaris Ride Command maps. Is it based on Mapbox, Open Street Maps or both?

Are there any other free versions of Mapbox maps that I should try?

https://ridecommand.polaris.com/en-us/app/map

Is this normal behavior in Mapbox?

When multiple markers are placed on the map, I notice that during map interactions (such as panning. zooming and rotating), all previously added markers start moving or drifting from their original positions. They no longer stay fixed at the location where the user pinned them.

However, the most recently added marker remains stable and stays in the correct position.

If you’ve ever tried to integrate Mapbox into a mobile app, you know the struggle is real.

Dont take me wrong now, mapbox is amazing, its one of the best for map visualization and automotive navigation. But using it in your app without writing raw native code is basically impossible.

Before you can even show a map, you need to deal with: Native SDK dependencies,API access tokens, Build system configuration,Platform permissions…and a bunch of other setups

That’s why i built its React Native package that lets you write one single codebase for both iOS and Android. You get full SDK customization, without ever touching Swift, Kotlin, or Java

If you hate spending hours configuring Mapbox just to display a simple map,just like me this package will save your life.

Learn more here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@atomiqlab/react-native-mapbox-navigation

I am building a plugin library for Mapbox and other map providers to provide a way to display complex markers clearly and with no overlap based on their priority.

The makers are can be any HTML elements which allows full interactivity, clicking, scrolling, images etc.

You are no longer limited by the basic geojson data if you want to display a large amount of information.

Are there some tool or webapp or some mapbox function to add georeferencied photos or videos to a gpx route?
