You have strong competition in Google, Garmin, TomTom... They all offer their product almost for free. Why do you think your product will survive such battle with the giants?

Check out some of the statistics we have posted on our site and Medium.  We also have a lot coming in our whitepaper.  To answer your question directly, Yes.  There is so much unmapped.  There are developing countries, traffic conditions, gas price knowledge, and emergency response that all demand more and better mapping.

I understand the argument, but look at the tech industry.  Mapping is a hot topic and investment, in part due to the growth in automation of vehicles and our globalized world demanding a better solution.  

Google is the free one.  Garmin and TomTom are not.  Go ahead and look at how ridiculous Garmin Map pricing is, for the modern world.

There is more to come on our business model, but do not worry.  Our platform to interact with the GeoPin Map will be free to users.  We do not see any ability to charge end users to use a map and in fact are very proud of the open source nature of our project.

With a competition like Google, Garmin and Apple, and their resources, do you think there is enough "unmapped" to keep this project alive?

Slack channels are widely corrupted.

And yes, about slack.  We will likely restrict postings when we get close to crowdsale time.

GeoPin Team Member Introduction:

Hi all.  My name is Nick.  I have specialized in marketing and sales for high-tech companies and was dragged into the token and blockchain space.  I, most recently, worked on UTRUST's ICO (https://UTRUST.io - ICO still live), and one of the leading Web Product company's growth efforts: https://Subvisual.com who specializes in FinTech, HealthCare, and now blockchain.

I have maintained a specialization of working with international companies and teams, because I feel that it is the best way to triage problems and create meaningful and attainable solutions.

GeoPin is a project that is technically attainable for our team to develop.  We have an expert in Machine Learning with MIT grads and Harvard PhD s, from around the world.  I am helping to maintain and lead a community via partnerships and our social channels to make our map platform a realistic choice.  Both for when going somewhere, and when realizing that something could be updated.

Stay tuned for more updates on our business model and token economics.  It took a lot of hard work to get to these opening stages, so stay tuned for our announcements.

An Introduction to GEO PIN
A social venture that is financially sustainable and profitable for its token holders

GeoPin aims to create the world’s most complete, interactive, and personalized map.

Disasters around the world kill nearly 100,000 and affect 200 million people each year. Many of these places where the poorest and most vulnerable people reside are literally ‘missing’ from any map; first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. Developed countries, on the other hand, suffer from a one-size-fit-all-map that lacks real-time personalized information beyond navigation.

Maps used to be all about navigation but today, they are about discovery, meaningful connections, and real-time content. LET’S FILL THIS GAP!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Economic incentives to put MORE UNMAPPED ON THE MAP
OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project started almost 13 years ago and claiming hundreds of thousands of volunteer mappers around the world. A crowdsourcing project, OpenStreetMap actually achieves better data quality than Google Maps in many places, especially less developed areas.

But OpenStreetMap’s growth is currently hindered by the slow growth in map contributions and map contributors.

To fuel the power of the crowd and incentivize broader local participation, GeoPin implements a reward mechanism that rewards GIN tokens to mappers anywhere in the world to put MORE UNMAPPED ON THE MAP.

2. Real-time personalized information beyond navigation
Besides map data, real-time information enriches the static base map with local and cultural pulses. GeoPin aims to bring together vibrant local communities everywhere in the world to crowdsource interesting local destinations, events, and specialties. Anyone can create a PinChannel to start pinning on a specific type of destination with other pinners. Similar to subreddits on Reddit, all PinChannels on GeoPin are user-generated.

For example, someone can create a PinChannel to start pinning pop-up farmer markets; or a celebrity can create her PinChannel to share places that she goes to with her fans.

3. Control of your map and what you see
On GeoPin, you can subscribe to any number of PinChannels and only see pins in those PinChannels. Pins can be transient. If there’s no additional interest for a certain period of time, a pin will be hidden.

For example, if you’re interested in “Dishes you can’t miss”, subscribe to that PinChannel, get informed and share with others about wonderful dishes you spot in restaurants in your city, and most importantly HAVE FUN!

4. A financially sustainable open-source model
GeoPin monetizes the real-time personalized information layer to reward both mappers and pinners while keeping the base map data free for all, honoring the noble spirit of OpenStreetMap.

Advertisers, app developers, and agencies who want to access GeoPin’s data or audience need to purchase GIN tokens. 10% of GIN tokens earned will be burnt as transaction fee while the remaining will be paid to GEOPinners. GEOMappers are compensated with newly mined GIN tokens through a fixed-rate inflation scheme.

5. Mass adoption of cryptocurrencies
We have been asking ourselves for a long time about a killer app that can introduce cryptocurrencies to the rest of the world and bring more people into our community.

Maps is the most used application by people everywhere. So the target user group of GeoPin is not only big but also proven: popular map applications claim almost one third of the world population as their monthly active users (or about 2 billions+ people). GeoPin aims to make these users first time owners of a crypto currency - the GIN token.

6. Map data secured on the blockchain
The GeoPin blockchain is used to save all edits to the world map, guaranteeing decentralization and censor-proofness of the world map in all circumstances.

The integrity and tamper-proofness of our world map is more important than ever when it’s going to be used by self-driving cars and other autonomous machines.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHO WE ARE

We are a team coming from diverse cultural backgrounds: Thailand, Viet Nam, India, United States, and counting … Our team members graduated from MIT, Harvard, Northeastern, University of Central Florida, University at Buffalo, and counting … We’ve worked at Intel, Fidelity Investments, BNP Paribas, Lazada, Deloitte, AXA Group, ... We all have entrepreneurial backgrounds starting, running, and helping successful startups. When we stumbled upon the staggering statistics of how many people are missing from our map, it was the moment we knew we have a solution to someone’s problem that will improve so many lives. And we can’t take our mind off it.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOKEN MECHANISM

Geo Mappers are users who contribute map data to the base map such as adding a lake, a building, a road, etc.

Geo Pinners are users who curate existing locations on the map to specific PinChannels to enrich them with real-time information and personal perspectives about the places.

GeoPin monetizes the real-time information layer to reward both Geo Mappers and Geo Pinners while keeping the base map data free for all, honoring the noble spirit of OpenStreetMap.

Advertisers, application developers, and agencies who want to access GeoPin’s data or audience need to purchase GIN tokens. 10% of GIN tokens earned will be burnt as transaction fee while the remaining will be paid to GeoPin Pinners. Geo Mappers are compensated through a fixed-rate inflation scheme with newly mined GIN tokens.

As a utility token, the GIN token can be used to get coupons or services at locations pinned on GeoPin or premium services on GeoPin-enabled applications.
