On-Demand, Targeted Coverage
Last updated
Burts is a tool for requesting on-demand and targeted mapping in a specific location from the Hivemapper Network.
If Hivemapper does not yet have coverage in a specific location or the coverage is not sufficiently fresh, one can pay a small fee to notify and request the network of mappers to provide coverage.
The before and after example below demonstrates how Bursted increased coverage of a neighborhood.
Log into Scout, purchase Map Credits, and create locations. Once locations are created, you'll gain the ability to activate a Burst in any given location. This can be done two ways.
Select a location(s) from List View by hovering over the row and selecting the check box. Multi-select capabilities allow you to select multiple locations at once.
Once a location(s) is selected, click the Add Burst button to enable the checkout flow.
Once activated, the Burst Status of the location will update with the expiration date. Locations are unable to be removed from your account while a Burst is active.
In Location Detail view, clicking the Burst button will trigger the Burst activation checkout flow.
Once activated, the Burst button will be replaced with the updated Burst status and expiration date. Locations are unable to be removed from your account while a Burst is active.
Once Burst(s) are created in Scout, the Hivemapper Companion App will surface the locations with active Bursts for prioritized coverage. Check back regularly for updates. Bursts expire in 7 days and Map Credits will be refunded if imagery is not collected within the time frame. Once Bursts expire, the ability to Burst a location is reenabled.
