Introduction
Scout is a tool for monitoring locations globally using fresh, geo-located imagery from the Hivemapper Network.
In the example below, construction at Taylor St. and Eddy St. in San Francisco is being monitored. This location has been mapped over twenty times, with the most recent mapping occurring 1 hour ago. Each time a location is mapped, a new collection appears.
