Street Intersections with Mapbox Geocoding API

0
votes

I've searched Mapbox's API and have tested a few popular places, but can't seem to get correct results for geocoded street intersections. Does Mapbox's API have the capability to geocode intersections that's not documented? Is there a definitive answer or should I assume it's not possible (yet) and investigate other options, like MapQuest or Google?

Mapbox's Geocoding API does not support intersections at the moment. The feature request is being tracked on GitHub.

Intersections are not supported as of March 2016. I'll update this post if anything changes, but it doesn't sound like it's being actively developed from the response below ("working on potentially adding it").

Email response from MapBox support:

Supporting intersections is something that is not available at this time. The team is aware of it and is working on potentially adding it in the future. You can follow the progress here.
