In this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back Ariel Seidman, founder of HiveMapper. Ariel was my very first podcast guest back in 2019, and HiveMapper has come a long way since then! We explore how HiveMapper has evolved from a drone-based mapping system to a cutting-edge platform collecting street-level data at a global scale. Ariel shares the challenges of scaling large-scale mapping efforts, the pivot to building their own hardware, and the role of blockchain-based incentives in driving adoption. Here are just a few topics we cover: Why HiveMapper shifted focus from drones to street-level mapping. The power of combining hardware and software to solve mapping challenges. How HiveMapper has already mapped 28% of the global road network. The revolutionary edge computing and data filtering techniques driving efficiency. What it takes to compete with industry giants like Google Maps. Whether you're fascinated by the intersection of geospatial technology and innovation or looking for insights into scaling impactful startups, this episode is packed with value. Let me know your thoughts or hit reply if you’d like to discuss the episode!   https://beemaps.com/ Connect with Ariel here https://www.linkedin.com/in/aseidman/   PS I have just finished creating a web-based tool that lets you explore and download OpenStreetMap data, It is a bit different from other tools and I would appreciate some feedback.  https://mapscaping.com/openstreetmap-category-viewer/       

The MapScaping Podcast delves into the intricate world where geography meets data. This isn't about static paper maps, but the dynamic, digital systems that help us understand our planet. Each conversation focuses on the practical and the visionary within GIS, geospatial technology, remote sensing, and earth observation. You'll hear directly from the cartographers, data scientists, software developers, and analysts who are building the tools and interpreting the information that defines modern digital geography. The discussions explore how satellite imagery is used, how location intelligence solves complex problems, and where the technology is headed next. For professionals, students, or anyone fascinated by how we chart and comprehend our world, this podcast offers a grounded look at a field that is constantly redrawing its own boundaries. Tune in to The MapScaping Podcast for insights that are as much about the people and ideas shaping this space as they are about the technology itself. It's a consistent source for those who think spatially, providing depth and context that goes beyond the software interface. Listen to find out how the hidden structures of geospatial data influence everything from urban planning and environmental conservation to business logistics and everyday apps.
