Migrate

Four guides for the stacks people actually leave. Each one is a side-by-side of the calls you have today and the unmap equivalents, plus the things that do not have an equivalent.

Google Maps, Mapbox, HERE, and Esri (ArcGIS Location Platform and ArcGIS Online) are the four commercial maps APIs most Canadian apps sit on. If you are already on MapLibre or OpenLayers, skip the renderer swap and start from Calling the API directly: the style URL is the whole of it.

unmap covers Canada. Tiles, geocoding, and routing stop at the border. If you need a worldwide map, Street View, or Places photos, stay where you are. Each guide says so up front.

Nothing here assumes you have used unmap before. The Quickstart is the 60-second Hello World; these pages are the translation from the API you already know.
