Mix and match other tools and plugins to create a location-savvy application to your exact specifications. Learn more about how to [use Mapbox Studio as an iOS developer](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/legacy/maps/guides/mapbox-studio/). ### Mapbox Studio The Mapbox Maps SDK is compatible with [Mapbox Studio](https://console.mapbox.com/studio/). Design a map that seamlessly matches your brand and application design, then infuse it with your own custom data all within the Mapbox Studio web interface. ### Directions and turn-by-turn navigation Embed real-time, turn-by-turn navigation right inside your application. The [Mapbox Navigation SDK for iOS](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/navigation/) provides a high-quality user experience out of the box, so you don't have to send your users to another application. Many customization options and reusable components allow you to adapt the interface to your unique use case and design. The Navigation SDK features traffic-aware directions for driving, cycling, or walking between multiple locations, powered by the Mapbox Directions API. [MapboxDirections.swift](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/directions/api/1.2.0/) is also available for applications that need direct access to directions without turn-by-turn functionality. ### Search Turn coordinates into addresses or addresses into coordinates with [MapboxGeocoder.swift](https://github.com/mapbox/MapboxGeocoder.swift/), powered by the [Mapbox Geocoding API](https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/). ### Static maps The Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS includes methods to generate a static snapshot of an existing map within your application. Use the [`MGLMapSnapshotter`](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/api/6.4.1/Classes/MGLMapSnapshotter.html) class to create a static raster image of a map, without having to make a request to another API. Deliver a consistent experience across your companion tvOS and watchOS applications with static map snapshots using [MapboxStatic.swift](https://github.com/mapbox/MapboxStatic.swift/), powered by the Mapbox Static API. ## Available resources Documentation for the Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS comes in the form of: - [API documentation](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/api-reference/) - [Examples](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/legacy/maps/examples/) - [Tutorials](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/#mobile-apps) - [Troubleshooting guides](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/troubleshooting/) If you can't find what you're looking for, [reach out](https://support.mapbox.com) to our support team.
