Case Study: YAMAP achieves safer, more interactive outdoor maps with Mapbox Mobile Maps SDKs and Studio

Yamap Inc powers outdoor maps for 2.3 million downloads with Mapbox

Yamap Inc, the company behind Japan's largest mountain climbing and outdoor app, needed a digital mapping solution to ensure user safety in areas with no connectivity. Their previous approach used different libraries for iOS and Android, leading to development complications. They sought a unified, cross-platform service from a vendor like Mapbox that could provide extensive customization and reliable offline maps.

Using Mapbox Mobile Maps SDKs and Mapbox Studio, Yamap built highly interactive, customized maps for outdoor adventures. The solution provided a unified codebase for both platforms, enabling offline caching and allowing designs tailored for activities like hiking and skiing, which simplified topographical details and highlighted critical points. This improved service quality and unified operations, supporting over 2.3 million downloads for the platform.
