How Shadowmap Powers Sunlight Simulation at Global Scale
Starting from a thesis and a crisis, Georg Molzer built Shadowmap into a 3D sunlight simulation used by more than 700,000 people a month, and the engine behind Redfin's sunlight scores. Our latest customer story explains how Stadia Maps helps.

Water Labels Reworked: Cleaner Names, Smarter Placement, and Straits at Last
Around 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water. It's not something everyone thinks about when they look at their maps, but bodies of water also provide important locational context. We're reworking our cartography from the ground up. Our chief architect, Ian Wagner, shares some details about our recent overhaul of water name labeling.
The Open Data Superpower: Why Global Search is Moving Beyond Proprietary Silos
Legacy mapping providers rely on static data captured during periodic drive-bys, creating a "black box" where errors can persist for years. We solve this by building living infrastructure that ingests continuous open and proprietary data streams, offering a transparent "fix-it" loop and rapid updates that proprietary silos can't match.
Precision Meets Privacy: Elevating the Consumer Search Experience
Structured search, reverse geocoding, and autocomplete across more than 1 billion locations, aggregated from open data. No user tracking, and no ad-network bias shaping which results come back first.
Why Basic OpenStreetMap Routing Needs Real-Time Traffic
OpenStreetMap provides a world-class geographic foundation, but it remains a static dataset. Without real-time traffic integration, routing engines must rely on algorithmic proxies like road class and legal speed limits, which often lead to unreliable ETAs and logistics bottlenecks.
What's Coming Next
In our next issue, we'll continue to highlight our customers, provide updates to Stadia x Stamen Map Styles, and more.
