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.

Happy to chat custom pricing, I work at Mapbox with many of the solo / independent developers. I'm @EqMapbox on twitter.
I recently wrote a guide (https://blog.mapbox.com/styling-mapbox-terrain-rgb-c75d1cd71...) about extruding the contour lines within the Mapbox Terrain vector tiles (https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/mapbox-terrain/#contour) that could be helpful to you as soon as I update it to match our recently re-released Studio product.

Check out https://www.mapbox.com/help/access-elevation-data/ for more background and let us know @Mapbox if you have questions!

I'd love to make this work, Forrest - drop my name in a note to [email protected] and let's see if we can get you setup with the Isochrone plugin (https://blog.mapbox.com/add-isochrones-to-your-next-applicat...) which sits on top of the Mapbox Matrix API. https://blog.forrestthewoods.com/visualizing-commute-times-3... is awesome!

I'm a Mapbox employee so take my note with the typical grain of salt - live & historic traffic is available via maps and APIs in these geographies, https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/pages/traffic-count... and you can add turn by turn navigation into your own applications with the SDKs, https://www.mapbox.com/navigation-sdk/. Let me know if we should dive deeper ;)

Hey Chris, you can make custom maps with Mapbox but you don't have to - here's a look at our core styles + designer styles that come out of the box, https://www.mapbox.com/help/studio-manual-styles/#mapbox-tem.... Pricing is based on transactions for each API. Lots of folks find this table helpful - https://www.mapbox.com/help/account-faq/#what-api-requests-d....

Yep mapbox/driving-traffic profile of the Directions API factors in current and historic traffic conditions - https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/#directions. As my name suggests, I work for Mapbox :)
