[OSM-np] Query on Openstreetmap & Mapbox

[amrit]

Hi Maheshwor,

Mapbox is not part of openstreetmap. It is a private company and it uses 
free data of openstreetmap to create and sell tiles. To use mapbox 
tiles, you will have to create a mapbox account and get an id, a starter 
account will give you 3000 map views per month for free. After that it 
will charge you or stop service.

How do you intend to use it, the starter plan is good for development 
purposes.
