How to switch from Google Maps API to OpenStreetMap?
Switching from Google Maps Platform to MapTiler Cloud, which is an OSM tiles provider, is very easy and straightforward. You can significantly cut costs: compare prices and see how much you can save.
Static maps
For static maps, you can either use a Visual generator or API. Both methods are described here.
Dynamic maps with JavaScript
MapTiler supports standard JavaScript libraries, including MapTiler SDK, MapLibre GL JS, Leaflet, and OpenLayers. You can visitour documentation to learn how to create map applications using these libraries.
Pro tip: learn how to create an interactive map using Leaflet with our YouTube tutorial series.
Maps on mobile devices
To start using MapTiler in your mobile app, you have to switch your mobile SDK. MapTiler supports multiple mobile SDKs. However, we recommend using MapLibre Mobile SDK for Android and iOS.
