Satellite Streets
Mapbox Satellite Streets is our core style base map that combines our Mapbox Satellite layer with vector data from Mapbox Streets, creating a full global base map that is perfect as a blank canvas or an overlay for your own data.
Composed by experienced cartographic designers, the Satellite Streets Core Style base map saves developers countless hours they would have spent building a similar base map to tell their location story.
Roadways
Highly organized road data, designed to present a clearly legible hierarchy of all road types across a wide zoom range.
Natural features
Rivers, lakes, streams, oceans, coastal boundaries, parks, land cover, and beaches.
Built features
Building footprints, rail stations, urban parks, land use, famous landmarks, and neighborhood stores.
Unique iconography
Select countries and cities feature custom highway shields and public transit icons.
Places
A complete hierarchy of location labels, from countries and states down to villages and neighborhoods.
Satellite and aerial imagery
We provide a global layer combining multiple satellite and aerial imagery sources to give context and beautiful backdrops for your maps. Zoom 0-8: NASA MODIS | Zoom 8-18: Maxar Vivid | Zoom 16-20 a combination of open and proprietary sources, including Vexcel aerial imagery for the US, Canada, and Europe, USDA NAIP in the contiguous United States, and open aerial imagery from France, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, and other regions.
Imagery
We combine multiple sources of global satellite imagery from commercial providers, NASA, and USGS. Optimized for coverage and consistency, we continually add updated, high-quality, and attractive imagery as landscapes change.
Mapbox Streets data
Mapbox Satellite Streets uses the same vector tile source as our general-purpose maps and contains the full range of geographic information required to provide context for overlays.
Global coverage
Offering cloudless coverage for zoom levels 0–8, Mapbox Satellite provides a global layer of beautifully blended, color-corrected imagery.
Optimized styling
Our designers have created clear and legible road hierarchies with a comprehensive set of road, place, and feature labels that balance legibility and usability for your map project. Road opacity and icon saturation are intentional design decisions that contribute to this map being a canvas to build upon.
Globe View at low zoom levels
Mapbox Satellite Streets defaults to Globe View at low zoom levels, including fog and atmospheric properties, offering you an alternative to the flat and skewed Mercator Projection when aiming to realistically display visual information that is continental in scale.
