You're not crazy. Go to products -> maps, click on one of the themes, click on View live map. Like this one for example https://www.mapbox.com/maps/streets/

It's like they don't want to show it.

I love this thread. I have not one but two tickets asking we elevate the actual maps - I'm going to tap it again! Stay tuned for a nice redesign shortly that hopefully pulls them front and center.

Note - I work at Mapbox.

Damn it's actually kind of breathtaking how responsive and smooth the zooming and scrolling is on that compared to Google Maps.

Also since I'm a Safari user I figured I'd try Google Maps in Chrome as well to see if Google Maps' lag was due to Safari and nope, Chrome is actually way laggier than Safari.
