Think about it—digital maps run the world. Billions check them daily. Navigation, delivery, logistics... everything.
Yet who controls this? A handful of legacy giants. Their fleets? Small. Expensive. Aging fast. Updates crawl at a snail's pace. Maintenance costs pile up. And here's the kicker: they own your street data.
Hivemapper's flipping that script entirely. Decentralized mapping powered by contributors, not corporate monopolies. Fresh data. Lower costs. No single gatekeeper deciding what you see on the map.

The fact that ngl map data is monopolized is really outrageous; someone should have sorted out this trap system a long time ago.

Ngl, the idea of Hivemapper is indeed brilliant, but can we really believe that this thing can shake Google Maps?

Ngl, this is what web3 should do: break the centralized monopoly.
