And why didn't you do it in an open standard data format and just present it on Google Maps?

- vetinari 9y agoGoogle Maps itself isn't exactly open standard... See the woes of OpenLayers, for example.
- erikb 9y agoYes, that's why I put these as two separate points.
- Bedon292 9y agoThe Google Maps API is also more expensive than Mapbox.
- neom 9y agoWe have exportability as a first class citizen, so you can push out to google maps, tableau, esri, carto, etc. Data viz is not our core competency or something we intend to do very much of.
- erikb 9y agoThe downvotes let me assume that people understood this question as a suggestion. But it was really just a question from someone who hasn't looked into that space for 10 years and is curious how it looks like from an expert perspective.
