Unboxing Bubble Wrap

We’d like to introduce you to Bubble Wrap, the fresh new cartography from Mapzen. This signature map style joins Refill, Zinc, and Cinnabar and is featured in Eraser Map, our privacy-focused Android application. (We’d love for you to join our Android beta program — sign up here.)

Explore Bubble Wrap in this interactive map, and keep reading for a visual diary of our experiments, iterations, and outtakes.
