Build with fast, government-compliant maps on iOS and Android
By: Chris Wu
Today, we’re launching two new plugins for mobile developers in China to conveniently build with our blazing fast, and government-compliant maps for China. Developers will no longer need to write additional code or integrate with 3rd party modules to serve our Mapbox.cn shifted basemaps.
The Mapbox China Plugins for Android and iOS bundle our native Mapbox Maps SDKs, and make working with the government-mandated GCJ-02 coordinate system a breeze.
- Build with one of our government approved map styles with shifted tiles in China — Mapbox Streets Chinese, Mapbox Light Chinese, Mapbox Dark Chinese — to create the perfect backdrop for any app you envision.
- Pass any data through our shift module that automatically converts features, geometries/shapes, markers, and user coordinates into GCJ-02 to use any of your location data with ease on Mapbox maps.
- Manage your location data with our custom location manager, which provides current location updates in the GCJ-02 system.
Join customers like Moji Weather, who are building with our Mapbox China Plugins to serve beautiful OpenGL powered maps to millions of users in China.
