#2I've long left Google maps and moved onto Mapbox for all my mapping needs in side-projects. Can someone please point out how MapHub is better / different from Mapbox?

#3This is brilliant. Easy to use and the tutorial is actually helpful.

Hi, I made MapHub. So MapBox I believe is targeting developers to create custom map solutions, not simple users who would like to share a list of favourite hiking trails, make a guide for their neighbourhood or just insert an embed on a website. The point of using MapBox I think is more if you have loads of data, or if you are looking for a custom map solution, like Strava or Foursquare uses them in their mobile app.

#5I love this. Anything that makes it easier for people to create custom maps using their data and OSM is fantastic in my book.

#6The demo is great! Looks very promising.
Question: would it be possible to add metro lines (not just the stations)?

Hi! Yes, definitely possible! Actually, if you go to the basemaps tab in the right side, you can find some specialised basemaps, for example Thunderforest / Transport has a great visual style for train and metro lines.
Now, talking about integrating it into MapHub rendered maps, it's definitely possible. I am using the open source osm2vectortiles [1] project, and the older, open source MapBox tm2 styles [2] to render the tiles, so changes can even be contributed by the community!

#8Very cool. Love the ability to create a simple map, and have so many different basemaps it works with. Will definitely be keeping an eye on it.

#10Awesome, I can import a GPX file. Going to have a good play with this tonight.
