Data Workbench in Mapbox Studio: A simpler way to turn custom data into tilesets
Upload, clean, and publish custom data to beautiful, performant tilesets in just a few steps. In this webinar, the Maps team introduces Data Workbench in Data Manager V2 and shows how it streamlines the most painful part of building with Mapbox: working with your own data. You’ll see how the Mapbox Data Workbench makes it easy to: • Upload GeoJSON, CSV, KML, FlatGeobuf, and GPX (not just line-delimited GeoJSON) • Combine multiple sources into a single tileset • Edit attributes directly in a spreadsheet-style table view • Preview your MTS recipe and tileset live while you tweak it • Control max zoom, simplification, and outputs to keep tilesets lean and fast • Turn large datasets into efficient maps using Mapbox Tiling Service (MTS) What’s covered in this webinar: • Why uploading custom data has been hard for developers • How Data Workbench brings uploads, editing, and tiling into one workflow • Demo 1: Evaluating DC bus route expansions with opportunity zones and walkshed data • Demo 2: Mapping Cherry Blossom Festival street closures and affected bus stops • Demo 3: Visualizing California election data with advanced MTS recipes – State vs. county views by zoom level – Attribute aggregation and union – Showing cities by population without clutter • Current limitations and what’s coming next as Data Workbench moves toward GA Who this is for: • Developers and data engineers adding custom geospatial data to Mapbox • Product teams that need to iterate quickly on tilesets and styling • Anyone currently using the Uploads API or MTS CLI who wants a visual workflow Helpful links: https://www.mapbox.com/ https://www.mapbox.com/forms/data-workbench https://www.mapbox.com/releases https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-tiling-service/guides/data-workbench/ https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-tiling-service/guides/#how-to-use-mts https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-tiling-service/guides/ https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-tiling-service/examples/ https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/?product=Mapbox+Tiling+Service https://docs.mapbox.com/studio-manual/guides
