Mapbox: Static Maps

Create a custom, embeddable static map with zoom, bearing, and pitch

Mapbox's Static Maps API creates an embedded, customizable map for web and mobile apps, without the interactivity.

The Static Maps block allows you to create these maps based on your data streams, and publish that map in real time. This works great for apps that don't require real-time geolocation tracking, but still want to display an updated location to a user at a custom time, or based on a custom action.

Walkthrough
