About Hivemapper
Hivemapper leverages a global community of map contributors equipped with dashcams to collect map data. This crowdsourced approach allows for frequent updates and coverage of areas often neglected by traditional mapping companies. The collected data is processed using computer vision and machine learning to generate highly detailed, accurate 3D maps that are accessible via Hivemapper's decentralized marketplace.
