Mapbox
Mapbox is one of the biggest providers of custom online maps for major websites such as Foursquare, Pinterest, Evernote, the Financial Times and Uber Technologies.〔(The New Cartographers ), Washington Post, 22 July 2013〕 Since 2010, it has rapidly expanded the niche of custom maps, as a response to the limited choice offered by map providers such as Google Maps.〔 Mapbox is the creator of, or a significant contributor to many popular open source mapping libraries and applications, including the MBTiles specification, the TileMill cartography IDE, the Leaflet JavaScript library, the CartoCSS map styling language and parser, and the mapbox.js JavaScript library.
==Data sources and technology==
The data are taken both from open data sources, such as OpenStreetMap and NASA, and from proprietary data sources, such as DigitalGlobe.〔(A Cloudless Atlas — How Mapbox Aims to Make the World’s ‘Most Beautiful Map’ ), Wired, 14 May 2013〕 The technology is based on Node.js, CouchDB, Mapnik, GDAL, and Leafletjs.
MapBox uses data from tracks of its clients' users', such as Strava and RunKeeper, to identify likely missing data in OpenStreetMap with automatic methods, then manually applies the fixes or reports the issue to OSM contributors.〔https://www.mapbox.com/blog/updating-map-runkeeper/〕〔https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/wiki〕
