    It's a new day for mapping tools
    Build maps that see and reveal changes
    CEO · Hivemapper is a new kind of mapping tool that blends 3D mapping with vision that automatically sees and reveals changes happening in the world.… · More

    Messaging took over communication. Docs and spreadsheets became integrated and collaborative. Operating systems took on entirely new forms in a mobile world. Yet, mapping tools are mostly unchanged.

    Since the 1960s, mapping tools have been built around satellite imagery as the primary data source. We built tools to make satellite based maps faster, prettier, and easier to consume across web and mobile. Yet, the dominance of satellite meant that mapping tools didn’t have much to work with.

    Every new car, drone, and airplane is equipped with a camera and soon enough LiDAR sensors. These sensors are generating far more data than satellite ever could have, and unlike satellite, this data is live and often three-dimensional. It’s a different world than old school satellite and yet we are trying to shove all this new kind of data into the same old mapping tools.
