- Map data comes from OpenStreetMap.
- SmartMaps GL JS is built on MapLibre GL JS. The docs include a migration guide from Mapbox GL.
- We maintain our own vector tile schema and map styles: essential, light, dark, grey, accessible and satellite. By default, the base maps show no third-party points of interest, so your own locations stay in focus.
- Hosted exclusively in ISO 27001-certified data centres in Germany
- No cookies and no tracking, not even first-party
