MapBox, Google Map, API – Une des meilleurs API pour la géolocalisation et un plugin WordPress d’insertion de cartes

by Posted on


MapBox, voila semble-t-il un très sérieux concurrent à Google Map ? Qui pourrait imaginer aujourd’hui qu’une telle concurrence fusse possible ? Eh bien MapBox l’a fait ! Outre l’excellente API et de l’excellent équipe qui est derrière ce SaaS mis à votre disposition, c’est que MapBox a privilégié une chose qui est sans aucun doute une élément déterminant : l’esthétique et l’UX en clair l’output, ce qui fait qui rend possible son adoption par les hystériques de la géolocalisation ou par les cabinets d’architecte férus de rendu de carte…

MapBox, boite de pandore de la géolocalisation

Pour les fans de storytelling, voici un aperçu de l’historique qui a mené à la création de cette magistrale API, d’ailleurs utilisé par Le Monde. La promesse est simple et le service l’est aussi.

We started MapBox to make it easy for anyone to design and publish a beautiful custom map.

Un plugin d’affichage de carte

On a donc décidé de mettre en ordre via un plugin nommé he3_mapbox_plugin.php destiné à WordPress pour permettre de contrôler l’insertion de cartes au sein de pages ou d’articles.

Il faut d’abord placé ces éléments dans <head>…</head> pour charger l’ensemble de la bibliothèque de l’api MapBox
