- noir_lord 12y agoCommercial backing. I know that sounds somewhat daft but I like been a paying customer as it means I can get some support plus the documentation for mapbox is lovely as well.
- liotier 12y agoDo you realize that what Mapbox gives you is Openstreetmap data ?
- noir_lord 12y agoYep, I researched the options thoroughly. I like that mapbox wraps it all up, clearly documents it and provides it at a reasonable cost, to me that is a value added worth paying for is all.

- noir_lord 12y agoAh thanks for that, I commented on the twitter thread as well. Interesting that was the conclusion someone projected though.
