Cool, looks like mapbox has an iOS SDK <https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-ios-sdk/>. Is there somewhere that the progress on funding is being tracked? Put another way, where should I direct PM, design, etc. to get this prioritized? Also, I think it'd be worth it to ship this to a percentage of users to (further) validate the feature.
