Introducing Mapbox integration and Full-screen Maps

Updated on February 10, 2025 by Oleg Triers

Track-POD is happy to announce the integration of Mapbox as a new mapping option — available side by side with Google Maps — within the dashboard. 

Our customers need accuracy and speed. Delivery managers face frustrating delays when maps lack critical details — like exact house numbers and building entrances — that drivers rely on to navigate unfamiliar areas. With Mapbox integrated into Track-POD, you gain a powerful tool that delivers the accuracy you need, reducing errors and streamlining your route planning.

But we didn’t stop there. We’ve introduced another map-enhancing feature: Full-screen Map mode:

This mode transforms a regular dashboard field into an immersive, distraction-free view. Now, you can focus solely on the map’s fine details. It’s perfect for closely analyzing complex intersections or busy urban environments without the clutter of surrounding dashboard elements.

Switch to Mapbox in a click

Access Mapbox by going to the Map, clicking the Settings icon and picking a different Map Type.

Real-world benefits of Mapbox

• Urban navigation made simple: In busy city environments, even a small mapping error can cause major delays. With Mapbox’s detailed rendering, drivers can easily spot the exact delivery point, cutting down on search time and keeping routes efficient.
