Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best European alternative to Mapbox?
Maptiler (Switzerland) offers a Mapbox-compatible API with EU-hosted tile servers and GDPR-compliant processing. Protomaps (open-source) combined with self-hosted EU tile servers gives full independence. Both support the same GL JS rendering as Mapbox.
