Map With Hivemapper

Great map data, passive rewards and peace of mind as you drive.

Last updated 17 days ago

Rather than relying on paid drivers with specialized and costly mapping vehicles, the Hivemapper Network allows anyone driving with a purpose-built device to contribute to a dynamic global map.

Contributors collect and uploading valuable street-level imagery as they go about their normal daily driving. Map AI processes this imagery into a global map, identifying features like speed limit signs, traffic lights, stop signs, and more. Map customers use the resulting map data, and the Hivemapper Network rewards contributors for their efforts through HONEY tokens.

Devices for Purchase

Currently, is the only certified manufacturer of devices for the Hivemapper Network. Over time, additional manufacturers will be onboarded to give contributors more choices of devices that comply with the Hivemapper Network's specification.

Hivemapper Inc. has partnerships with resellers around the world to deliver a convenient buying experience. To ensure you are buying from a legitimate reseller, check of authorized resellers.

Bee Maps Devices

  • The Hivemapper Dashcam (“HDC”) was the first-generation model. The HDC was discontinued in 2024 and no new orders are being taken. Here is an .

  • The Hivemapper Dashcam S (“HDC-S”) was the second-generation model. It provided additional functionality such as 4K video for personal use. The HDC-S was discontinued in 2024 and no new orders are being taken. Here is an .

  • The Bee is the third-generation model. Bee Maps is taking orders , with shipments expected to begin in Q3 2024. The Bee offers more computing power than the original HDC, with improved GNSS and the ability to upload imagery directly to the network via WiFI or cellular connectivity. It will also include additional functionality making it well suited for commercial fleets.

All certified devices are able to submit street-level imagery to the Hivemapper Network and receive equal rewards for those contributions. However, the Hivemapper Foundation has that the Bee will need to start earning higher rewards than the HDC and HDC-S starting in Q2 2025 because of its ability to automatically generate Map Features as well as street-level imagery.
