Building a global digital street-level imagery map is one thing, but keeping track of and mapping physical changes around the globe through time is far more difficult to achieve.

One might ask how this compares to Google Maps. Although Google Maps does a reasonable job of creating initial street-level coverage, they are unable to record changes to maps in a uniform way across the globe. Doing so would require vast amounts of people and resources that are currently unfeasible. Additionally, Google Maps uses expensive cameras, vehicles, and manpower solely for mapping. This cost is passed down to the customer.

Hivemapper takes a different approach. It leverages a vast number of people that already drive extensively during their day-to-day job to collect street-level imagery. This has two primary upsides;

• Lower Cost Maps - With Hivemapper mapping is a by-product and not the primary activity (People already drive for their main occupation). The primary result of this is a lower cost of service to access the data.
• More Up-To-Date Maps - Because anyone can join Hivemapper through the acquisition of relatively inexpensive hardware, more contributors contributing to the map will result in the same location being mapped more frequently.
• Higher Quality Maps - For many locations, Google Maps only passes by a specific location once every few years. If atmospheric and lighting conditions aren't ideal, it might take years before better imagery becomes available.
