Feature Request: Mapbox as an optional map source for Mobile apps

Тема: Feature Request: Mapbox as an optional map source for Mobile apps

Hi Everyone,

Issue:
Many of our clients operate in areas where resource mining changes the topology and layout of the earth. Because of this, satellite images become outdated very fast and present a false representation of the layout, roads, and location of geological structures. Our clients take aerial photos of the site monthly which we then display on Mapbox and in turn on Wialon. This feature does not currently extend to mobile applications.

Solution:
The solution to this problem is to add an option to select Mapbox as the geodata source from within the Android and IOS applications.

Benefits:
This will provide immediate benefit to any existing or future users who also require a custom map canvas for their clients.

Profit/Loss:
Without this feature, it appears as though the solution we offer to our clients is 'incomplete' and may deter future endeavours. Why have such a powerful tool available for the web platform and not its mobile counterparts?

Thankyou for your time taken to read this, we look forward to any comments/suggestions.
Cheers, Jonah.

Re: Feature Request: Mapbox as an optional map source for Mobile apps

Hello,
the main issue with maps providers is that all of them have their own SDK with some features that may differ one from another. This means that for every type of map we need to implement all additional features like drawing tracks, displaying markers, etc.
As far as you have your own tiles, which are regularly updated, you may think about adding your tiles to Gurtam maps if it is possible.
