==== 2. '''Hivemapper — Google Maps of Web3''' ==== In 2006, Google began hiring casual drivers to map out the now-ubiquitous Google Street View. You were paid on a contract-basis to drive certain routes in a special Google-owned vehicle retrofitted with a 360 camera on the roof. An interesting gig that certainly got a lot of looks on the street! Say hello to 2022. Hivemapper just launched the world’s first crypto-enabled dashcam that enables anyone to earn rewards for driving their vehicle and contributing imagery.You will be paid HONEY tokens for your trouble, with your earnings based on three factors: coverage, freshness and quality. All in all, Hivemapper is the crowdsourced, decentralised version of Google Maps, that’s built on Solana.Firstly, retrofitting cars with big camera rigs and hiring dedicated contract drivers is expensive. This means maps aren’t updated too frequently.Using the power of crowdsourcing, Hivemapper leverages thousands of vehicles driving around at a fraction of the cost. This results in a lower-cost, up-to-date map that businesses pay for — a share of which is distributed to drivers in the form of HONEY tokens. The global mapping industry is worth $300 billion a year, with tech companies like Google, Apple, MapBox and OpenStreetMap all vying for a slice of the pie. In 2018, Uber paid Google $28 million alone to use the Google Maps API in their app! Now it’s easy for ordinary folks to get in on the action.
