What We Do

Navigation SDK team serves customers with use cases ranging from turn-by-turn navigation to delivery route planning for fleets of thousands of trucks. Our services are often at the heart of our customers' business operations. We aim to efficiently guide users from point A to point B by accurately matching them on roads, while having a deep understanding of routing, map-matching data structures and algorithms.

Our routing engine is built using C++ for optimal performance and flexibility. The same core engine powers both our server-side APIs and our mobile SDK for on-device offline routing. It plays a crucial role in our positioning service, which translates GPS signals and other available data into positions on a road graph. We recognize that users expect fast and accurate positioning, even in challenging scenarios such as poor signals, diverse devices, urban areas, and clouds. To address these uncertainties, we continuously improve our algorithms and approaches while also collecting and processing data to gain a better understanding of the real world.

Our products power experiences and operations for customers like BMW, Porsche, Doordash and Instacart. Read about Mapbox Navigation on our blog: https://www.mapbox.com/navigation
