Satellite Streets

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.
