Stadia Maps Location Platform

Building and hosting map tiles, geocoding, and routing infrastructure in-house is expensive and diverts engineering time from core product work. Off-the-shelf mapping APIs often introduce user tracking, unpredictable costs as usage scales, and support that is slow to resolve issues.

Stadia Maps is a privacy-first location platform that provides mapping, search, routing, navigation, and geospatial application programming interfaces (APIs) for web, mobile, desktop, and embedded applications. Mapping services include interactive basemaps, static map images, configurable map styles, and satellite imagery. Geocoding features convert addresses and place names into coordinates, and coordinates back into location data, while autocomplete supports searches for addresses, venues, cities, postal codes, and other points of interest. Routing capabilities include turn-by-turn directions, map matching, multipoint matrix calculations, isochrones, road information, and travel modes for driving, walking, cycling, and motorcycles.

Stadia Maps operates hosted services through a multi-region infrastructure with 14 interconnected data centers and supports integration through common mapping libraries and software development kits (SDKs). Organizations with security, connectivity, or data-control requirements can deploy Docker-based map tiles and geospatial APIs on premises or embed raster and vector map tiles directly into offline applications. Pricing is usage-based and published rather than quote-gated, and support comes directly from the engineering team building the platform.
