Mapbox announced new products that empower developers and organizations to make better data-driven decisions, develop easier and faster, and drive intuitive and seamless user experiences with innovative location technologies.

From fitness trackers and connected vehicles to logistics and business intelligence, location is essential to how we navigate, get hundreds of services on demand, and understand complex information quickly.

The new Matrix API delivers improved up-to-date routes and ETAs enabling advanced functionality on fleet optimization and cost savings with future departure time capability that accounts for traffic patterns.

Mapbox Boundaries v4 increases the coverage and granularity of industry-leading datasets with over 200,000 new or updated geographic boundaries across the Americas and Asia, powering geospatial analytics and visualizations.

Navigation SDK with Drop-In UI is a pre-made navigation layout that speeds the deployment of navigation embedded in an application while enabling customization for use-case and brand-specific requirements.
