What's new in Mapbox Maps: BUILD 2025 highlights
summary
Mapbox ships Mapbox Standard v4 as a fully customizable 3D basemap with expanded POI coverage from a 330 million–location dataset, adds HD lane-level roads by default in urban areas, and introduces procedural building details (roof shapes, windowed facades, entrances) rolling out to select cities. Tilepack sizes drop up to 40%, Mapbox Tiling Service gains MTS incremental updates to reprocess deltas, and upcoming tools include animated icons and the drag‑and‑drop Data Workbench plus indoor airport maps.
