Navigation SDK for automotive

Solutions tailored for custom in-vehicle routing, wayfinding, and infotainment to enhance the driver experience.

Ready to prototype

Start with the UX features to build an immediate in-vehicle prototype.

Infotainment flexibility

Optimize the responsive UI layout for any screen size.

Developer-friendly

Runs on Android or Linux and can be modified to embedded hardware.

Deliver next-generation navigation systems

Build fast, industry-leading maps and navigation for any vehicle.

Immersive 3D

The Mapbox rendering engine powers stunning 3D map graphics that enhance the navigation experience with detailed landmarks, dynamic lighting, and lane-level road visuals.

High-precision localization

Guide drivers in dense urban environments and through complex maneuvers with turn-by-turn directions. Combine map-matching with data from high-precision vehicle GPS, IMU, and wheel sensors.

AI-powered route optimization

The Mapbox routing engine automatically adapts to live traffic and road conditions, using advanced AI algorithms to process data from millions of other road users and billions of live updates.

Offline routing

The vehicle predictively downloads map data for on-device routing so that in cellular dead zones drivers can continue navigation seamlessly.

Advance the Electric Vehicle experience

Optimize for EV navigation with seamless range planning and charging features.

Frictionless charging

Predict and plan for ideal charging stops with the EV Charge Finder API, integrated into the Mapbox Navigation SDK. Let drivers tailor suggestions based on live availability, charging network preferences, cost, trip type, nearby amenities and more.

Smart range planning

Provide drivers with accurate trip range and estimates of remaining battery on arrival. Mapbox EV Routing accounts for live vehicle data, driver behavior, current and predicted traffic, and location context like elevation.

Personalized for EV drivers

Design a unique in-vehicle experience with dynamic alerts and custom branding to match any brand, model, or driver profile. Use the UX functionality or take full control over map appearance, interactive elements, and service integrations.

Customize UX for automotive

Design a navigation experience within any vehicle’s infotainment interface.

Flexible UX

The Navigation SDK provides both core map and navigation features in a responsive UI layout, with optional add-ons for search, EV, and voice assistant. Use the UX widgets to efficiently assemble a unique navigation experience.

Tailored design

UX flexibility and fully customizable map styling give automakers the design control needed to craft interfaces that match the brand and the style of any vehicle – from polished urban luxury to rugged off-road terrain.

Intuitive search

Suggest the most relevant search results for faster destination input. Suggested addresses and points of interest are contextualized to a driver's trip for simple one-tap navigation.

AI voice assistant

Revolutionize hands-free infotainment interactions with MapGPT, a customizable and conversational assistant with access to advanced search and navigation capabilities.

Sync with mobile

Use the Mapbox Navigation SDK for Mobile to seamlessly integrate in-car navigation with a mobile companion app. Allow drivers to share trips between their vehicle and phone.

Additional Features

Designed to run in-car

Configure the navigation view for any screen size, CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and network configuration.

Instant map updates

Mapbox continuously improves underlying map data. Over-the-air updates are separate from application updates.

Optimized camera views

The camera view automatically adjusts to the best angle and zoom level for upcoming maneuvers and UI overlays.

Alerts and voice instructions

Enable auditory cues, text, or icon alerts for upcoming changes or points of interest.

Instant feedback

Drivers can submit feedback about road situations with two taps.

Music

In-map audio controls allow the drivers to change music with minimal interruption.
