Change the navigation game with clear lane-level guidance that helps make sure drivers never miss a turn. 3D details help drivers orient themselves for a next-level experience that feels effortless.
Never miss a turn
3D Lanes is lane-level guidance that provides clear instructions in complex intersections, helping drivers follow the selected route more easily.
Full lane detail
3D Lanes shows roadways in detail including lane geometry, traffic flow direction, lane markings, and road signs that result in a more precise navigation experience.
Broad coverage, expanding daily
3D Lanes is available in over 55 cities in the US, Europe, and Japan on over 450,000 KM of highways and major arterials. Additional coverage is added daily.
Instant map updates
Mapbox map data is continuously updated to reflect the latest roadway changes. Since over-the-air updates are separate from application updates, map changes and new 3D Lanes coverage appear without any developer or user action.
Lanes and landmarks working together
Mapbox 3D Lanes shows the precise path to follow, blending perfectly with the Mapbox Standard map style. Recognizable structures like buildings, sculptures, and fountains provide an instant anchor for orientation.
When the view on the map looks like the view from the windshield, navigating becomes easy and intuitive.
