Retirement Announcement: JavaScript Maps API, June 5, 2018

Bri Gust

MapQuest will be retiring our JavaScript Maps API (Licensed & Open) on June 5, 2018, a little less than one year away.

Don’t worry, we aren’t leaving you in the dark. We’re thrilled to suggest a migration plan to our newly released JavaScript SDK library, MapQuest.js.

What is MapQuest.js?

MapQuest.js, the successor to our Leaflet Plugins, provides all of the power of the MapQuest geospatial platform combined with the elegance of the open-source Leaflet mapping library. Seamless integration with MapQuest’s APIs allows easy interaction with the geocoding, directions, traffic, and search-ahead services, both with and without a map.

Professional Services Migration Packages

We understand that migrating could be challenging and takes ample time. Because of this, we’re pleased to offer a variety of professional services migration packages at a discounted rate of $150 per hour to help ease your transition.

Ready to get started? Package features dependent upon your level of need (click to expand): 

Don’t wait until the last minute. Review our migration guide or contact us at support@mapquest.com, and we’re happy to get you set up with a member from our professional services team to start the migration to MapQuest.js.
