MAPCAT – the alternative to Mapzen

As you already know, Mapzen ceased its operation as of 1st of February, 2018.  All respect to their team that did a great job for the benefits of the whole OpenSource community. However, their users are probably facing a hard time now looking for an alternative.

As stated on Mapzen’s website, MAPCAT provides a good Mapzen alternative when you are looking for mapping services. We provide custom-made, OpenStreetMap-based worldwide map APIs for any platform, to visualize and activate your location-based data.
