Mapbox Streets
Mapbox Streets is a general-purpose vector basemap built for a wide variety of web and mobile applications. It emphasizes road networks and hierarchies, place labels, land use areas, water features, and points of interest — providing a comprehensive and readable foundation for most mapping use cases.
For new projects, use Mapbox Standard, which includes continuously improving cartography, 3D features, featuresets for interactivity, and dynamic lighting.

Tilesets used in this style:
Common uses
- General-purpose web and mobile maps
- Applications requiring a road-focused basemap with place labels and POIs
- Data visualization backgrounds where a neutral but informative basemap is needed
- Ridesharing, logistics, and delivery routing interfaces
Customization
Classic styles can be customized in two ways:
- At runtime in code — use
setLayoutPropertyandsetPaintPropertyto show, hide, or restyle individual layers after the map loads. This keeps all style logic in your codebase and is well-suited for dynamic changes driven by user interaction or application state. - In Mapbox Studio — clone the style in Mapbox Studio to adjust colors, toggle layers, change fonts, and add custom data sources. The resulting custom style is hosted by Mapbox and referenced by a style URL.
For new projects, consider using Mapbox Standard instead. Standard provides a richer feature set, continuously improving cartography, and a configuration API that replaces direct layer manipulation.
