Mapbox provides customizable mapping and location services for developers, businesses, and government agencies. Its main products include software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow clients to add advanced mapping, navigation, and location features to their applications.

The Vision SDKs use a device's camera for real-time road scene interpretation, and additional services like Traffic Data and Mapbox Boundaries support routing and geospatial analysis. Mapbox operates on a business-to-business model, charging clients based on subscription fees and usage, which allows it to grow alongside its clients' needs. The goal of Mapbox is to empower developers and businesses to create applications with sophisticated geospatial capabilities.
