Mapbox Studio Sarah and Haley

Custom tiles to add to any Website With mapbox you can create a custom base map or use one already made. Set up more as an API than a map hosting service The base maps are fully customizable you can turn on and off layers, change coloring, change font, change lighting on the map All data to add must be in a CSV or geoJSON file To finish the map you will need to do some coding

www.mapbox.com/help They have a great help section and tutorials but oddly you have to dig for it.

Loads of Documentation There are lots of great tutorials on adding data, manipulating data and saving styles. So much you can get a little lost. To create a map with data you have to save it as a tileset once you are done editing it to add it to a map. Reminder you can only use geoJSON or CSV to up load data But mapbox has your back on this too they have a helpful list of sites that will convert other file formats into geoJSON. togeojson, converting KML and GPX (XML formats). Ogr2ogr this one supports lots of ESRI file formats (haven’t tried it yet). fio-load from the Python package Fiona. geojson.io for creating, converting, and editing GeoJSON

What can Mapbox do for you? Imagery Basemap styling Tile rendering and creation Vector overlays Choropleth Proportional symbol Isoline Bivariate/ multivariate Animation Time series Seems to do great with integration and fully supported for mobile applications

What Can’t it do Graphs and Charts- mapbox just does maps you can do a 3D projection that is almost like a graph https://www.mapbox.com/bites/00273/

What programming languages should you know? Mapbox can be used to create custom styles and display data, and this doesn’t require any coding knowledge. HOWEVER, if you want to make your map interactive, then knowing some Javascript is necessary.

Example: Interactive popup window (Javascript) More examples + sample code

Mapbox Mash-ups: It’s easy to use Mapbox for mash-up websites! ( I think) A map-box map can be shared with a URL Or, developed and placed into a website with a style URL and an API (access token). More development can be done using the Mapbox Javascript library called Mapbox GL JS.
