[ANN] [PRE-SALE] [AIRDROP] MapCoin | Driving the future of mapping technologies

[MapCoin | AT]

Tasks included videos and geotagged pictures. Will people's voices be collected?
Do you plan to use that sound for research?

Also, can you use the reward of task we get with "MAPCOIN"?
For example, if you put a user who wishes to move the route on the task, I thought it would be nice if I paid this coin with reward.

Voice will not be collected at all. It is not required for mapping.

Rewarding people for driving and collecting data is exactly what we are going to do.

Is it going to be navigator with payable services?

Is it going to be navigator with payable services?

No, our app functions more like a dash camera but it collects video and location data. This is then sent to us and we extract map data. Verified data will then be rewarded with MAP tokens.

is there any possibility of paying for a more detailed location? or fees for all in-app activities? mapcoin is indeed the latest breakthrough in the world of cryto, but is this not going to be a waste just to know a location? while the current gps can be done for free, wherever will go

[JohnPierson]

It seems as a promising idea and the problem is clear. Do you have guys any centralized competitors? Why do you need your own token, what is the main advantage do you gain implementing it? Who are the main buyers of the data processed by MapCoin and what is the market size? Thanks and good luck  

Hi, thanks for your questions

We don’t have big competitors atm, however, although it is really easy to to get into this space of data collection, true professional mapping data services require significant skills and experience to succeed. Only a few companies will have experienced teams to be able to process and analyse collected data as well as offering professional services on top. We are one of those.

Having our own token is key to us building out our tech, paying our data collectors, building support, driving marketing etc.

The main buyers are companies in the autonomous vehicles, mapping, smart cities, location spaces. The autonomous car market is expected to be worth
between $450 - $750billion dollars by 2030. By October 2017 already $80billion2 had been invested in autonomous cars, with the USA and China leading the market.

Thanks again

Thank you for your detailed response, it’s clear. In which countries do you plan do deploy your service first? And what is the estimation on how many active users do you need to effectively operate and cover city/country map? I think it should be expressed in MapCoin local users per local people or living are /length of roads. Thanks

It depends on the size and complexity of City and country, but for HD Maps, for tier-one city like London, Paris, New York, Shenzhen, HK, we need at least 4000-5000 active users to make it, smaller cities may require fewer. The reason for that is: for example Shenzhen city, in Shenzhen city there are around 19,000 taxis and 16,000 buses that cover all the city roads, For MapCoin 1/4 of the bus/taxi drivers is enough.

We will look to concentrate our efforts in major US cites, eg San Francisco, Germany and Korea. That being said users can collect download our app and start collecting data from any area.

I see, interesting model. Am I right that in big cities where taxi / public transpotr coverage is good you are going to partner with these bus/taxi service providers instead of attracting ordinary citizens? Thanks again for your answers
