This month… Atlas Interactive Installer and Kepler.gl integration, Itinerary Builder, and enhancing the depth and feel of augmented reality navigation with Vision SDK
🌱 What’s New
Atlas Interactive Installer
Installing Mapbox on-premises is now easier with our new Atlas Interactive Installer. Atlas Installer v1.3.0 introduces a new install command that prompts you through a quick, easy, and customizable Atlas installation process. All you need is an Atlas license, your secret token with atlas:read scope, the latest installer, and your command line. Contact sales to start a free Atlas trial.
Kepler.gl + Mapbox Atlas
Kepler.gl is now integrated into Mapbox Atlas — so if a heatwave knocks out power or communications, weather forecasters can still track and analyze dangerous weather patterns and emergency responders can still organize a response in offline or low-connectivity environments. Kepler.gl for Atlas will be included in an upcoming release for Atlas Standard and Atlas Enterprise. Contact sales to learn more.
