CARTO moves to Mapbox to power location intelligence maps
By: Matt Irwin
Location intelligence platform CARTO helps companies use location data to drive business decisions. CARTO software lets cities see the impact of a subway shutdown, sales teams build optimized territories, and insurers estimate damages from tropical storms. Now CARTO users have a new, cutting-edge mapping stack.
CARTO is switching to Mapbox to power a new class of location data analysis tools for their customers. CARTO customers can now visualize massive datasets at 60 frames per second within CARTO software. They’re leveraging our geocoding for location search and our routing for analytics like isochrones so customers can understand the impact of location on their businesses.
Adding the Mapbox makes CARTO even more competitive to legacy GIS solutions. CARTO’s CEO, Javier de la Torre, explains:
“CARTO and Mapbox are the new GIS tech stack. We’re both betting on open data, open source code, and a race to the top for flexibility and functionality. With our move to Mapbox, we don’t have to worry about scale. We’re building a powerful location intelligence stack to enable new data streams, new methods, and new applications that will broaden support for users previously unable to incorporate location data directly into their workflows. CARTO users will also benefit from Mapbox’s high-resolution satellite imagery and powerful performance, rendering map data at video-game speeds.”
