  • MAU pricing questions
    2 projects | /r/mapbox | 2 Dec 2022
    1) I would like to use the Maps SDKs for Mobile pricing, so 25k MAU(monthly active users) free tier. If I have understood correctly I have to use the Mapbox Sdk for iOS and Android, in my case the flutter port(https://github.com/flutter-mapbox-gl/maps). So I think flutter_map(leaflet based) is not compatible with this type of pricing, right? But I was wondering if the open source maplibre(https://github.com/m0nac0/flutter-maplibre-gl) is ok for this type of pricing.

  • Max zoom levels?

    Yes, I'm using the Flutter MapBox GL project (that uses the native implementation, which is mostly written in C++). I'm using vector tiles, and it's getting down to 1.35cm/pixel for iOS and .12cm/pixel for Android at my latitude; I believe this is level 22 for iOS and 25.5 for Android.

    yes well the problem is that mapbox_gl ain't free, we want to make profit with our app if possible(https://github.com/tobrun/flutter-mapbox-gl/blob/master/LICENSE), maybe i didnt understand this well ?
  • Flutter for a map focused app?

    For Google Maps this seems to be the official package by Google, this one seems to be the official Mapbox package. Mapbox already states that their package only exposes a small subset of API methods in its flutter SDK, how is it with Google Maps? How limited are the Packages in terms of

    But vector tiles is indeed the way to go, but it's also much more complicated. Everyone that has worked on Maps so far has done it either as a SoC / Outreachy student or on weekends and evenings. Look at https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native if you want to get a feel for the complexity of a client side implementation of rendering vector tiles.
