Overview

Hivemapper builds a global, crowdsourced mapping network using dashcam data. It collects geospatial imagery from approved contributors who upload video frames and rewards them with incentives, delivering refreshed map data via the Map Image API. The data is gathered through a permissionless, decentralized network, allowing broad coverage and lower refresh costs, and clients like logistics, insurance, governments, and platforms access it through APIs for routing, risk assessment, urban planning, and location services. Its goal is to provide continuously updated, affordable global geospatial data by combining community participation with a scalable API.
