Would you pay $20/month for a customizable crowdsourcing map app?

Wednesday, March 20th 2013
By Adena Schutzberg

 

The Finnish firm Grafetee hopes you will. The company is offering a map, with tools for those interested to contribute information, a channel on its mobile app and tools to moderate the submissions. A "pro" version at $200 includes hosting on your domain, support and API access.

The Finnish police force used the app early on to allow citizens to share concerns about the safety of local parks and where more coverage was needed. Now, the vision is that bloggers and small businesses will chose the lower end solution over Ushahidi’s Crowdmap or Everplaces.

It's hard to say if Grafetee is late the game or not, but a easy to use solution is always welcome.
