PANews reported on February 22 that according to TechCrunch, Web3 map company Hivemapper will launch a new dashcam, Hivemapper Bee, later this year, aiming to accelerate market share from Google by leveraging the crowdsourcing community. The Bee camera is equipped with a larger GPS antenna and supports 4K 30fps shooting, aiming to provide a more attractive option for the company's fleet customers. It also has more on-device processing power and the ability to upload data without connecting to a smartphone app. Pre-sales are now open, with the version with an LTE chip priced at $549 and the WiFi-only version priced at $449. Shipping for Rapid Rush pre-orderers will begin in the third quarter of 2024. In addition, Hivemapper encourages the creation of high-quality map data by offering Honey tokens as rewards to contributors.
