Location Services Stack

Mapbox + Google Maps Platform — geolocation, mapping, and address autocomplete.

What's inside

The geo stack we use when products need real-world locations: Mapbox for property-mapping and styled cartography, Google Maps Platform for autocomplete + geocoding + Places. Includes the cost trade-offs (Mapbox is cheaper at scale; Google's autocomplete is unmatched), token-rotation discipline, and the rate-limit gotchas that catch teams late.

Tools in this stack

  • Mapbox GL
  • Google Maps Platform

What you get

  • Production-tested configuration. The exact way 1116 LLC runs location services across our portfolio — not generic template code.
  • Cost + scaling guidance. What we pay today, what we paid at launch, where the cost cliffs are, and when to upgrade.
  • Installation playbook. Step-by-step setup we use on every new project + the common gotchas we've already hit so you don't have to.
  • Lifetime updates. The stack evolves as our production stack evolves — you get the updates, no second purchase.
