Switching to Stadia Maps

There are a lot of location data platforms out there, so why switch to us? Simply put, we don’t snoop on your users or sell their information, we have the best cost structure in the business, especially for high volume users, and we offer real human support.

At Stadia Maps, we’re different. And we think you’ll love being our customer.

Declare Independence: Stay Nimble & Stay Private

Stadia Maps is a 100% independent geospatial data provider, making us one of the few such companies around. The majority of our data comes from open data sets, and our APIs follow well-established standards wherever possible to minimize vendor lock-in.

Stadia Maps also makes promises our competitors won't make:

• We put your privacy and your users' privacy first.
• We don't use cookies in our APIs (or even on this marketing website).
• We don't store your users’ request logs longer than 30 days.
• We don't share any user data with anyone, and we never will.

Compare this to other mapping providers, and you will find that most collect your users' data to help deliver more targeted ads and services on the web and in mobile apps, whether you like it or not.

In under 30 minutes we migrated our code to Stadia Maps without prior knowledge of the Stadia Maps API, including deployment. Stadia Maps have excellent pricing, good-looking tiles, support the Mapbox API and, as we learned, have excellent support.

How do I switch to Stadia Maps?

That's an excellent question! We’ve compiled some helpful guides and documentation below to ease your migration path.

Maps

If you’re switching from a Leaflet-based provider, switching is as easy as changing a single URL! Check out our quick guide on switching your interactive maps using Leaflet.

If you are currently using a Mapbox SDK (Mapbox GL JS or Mapbox GL Native), you will probably want to switch to the open-source MapLibre equivalents instead for web or mobile. These drop-in replacements for most use cases are fully open-source and provide significantly better user privacy. As with Leaflet, all you need to do is switch to one of our style URLs.

Just using static map images? Our API is both straightforward and powerful with the ability to draw lines, customize marker colors, and more. Our documentation has everything you need..

Geospatial APIs

We have a comparable API feature set to most other vendors. You can easily migrate to our Time Zone API in a matter of minutes from any other vendor. For use cases involving routing and elevation, the industry is a bit less standardized. We are drop-in compatible with Valhalla-based providers, and offer extensive documentation, code samples, and an OpenAPI specification to get you started.
