If the creator is here, are you paying for mapbox for this side project? Or do you just fall within the free tier? I feel like your site is so smooth and really works well. I wish mapcomplete could work as well but instead it's quite laggy when zooming out a decent amount. https://mapcomplete.osm.be/cyclofix.html?z=13&lat=50.84031&lon=4.344491&language=en https://mapcomplete.osm.be/cyclofix.html?z=13&lat=50.84031&l...

It's not using Mapbox at all. The lane overlays at close in zooms are being generated on the fly and the background is https://www.cyclosm.org/ https://www.cyclosm.org/.

  Do you mean that https://safecyclingmap.com/ https://safecyclingmap.com/ isn't using Mapbox? Because I see the logo at the bottom right of the website.

    it uses mapbox'es renderer (mapbox-gl) and seems to pull in the CSS from mapbox directly. Might be worth changing to maplibre since it's not using mapbox'es tiles.

  It uses Mapbox GL JS v2.x, which is no longer open-source and is tied to the TOS, so the distinction of using Mapbox tiles or not doesn't seem to matter. Just loading the library requires a token from Mapbox.

Hello, author here! https://safecyclingmap.com https://safecyclingmap.com is currently using Mapbox GL JS because I wanted to tinker with the Mapbox Directions API and geocoding. It also works great with Maplibre GL JS, I've got a branch ready to go: https://github.com/jakecoppinger/safe-cycling-map/tree/maplibre-gl https://github.com/jakecoppinger/safe-cycling-map/tree/mapli... The replies are also correct - I'm using the CyclOSM tiles (https://www.cyclosm.org https://www.cyclosm.org), and the lane shapes are generated by osm2streets, which Dustin Carlino (https://github.com/dabreegster https://github.com/dabreegster) wrote in Rust!
