Utilizing blockchain-based mapping enables decentralized storage of huge data, resolving latency concerns during data access and sharing.
The global positioning system (GPS) calculates a person’s location, merges it with their environment, and displays it live on their mobile device via a real-time interface. Blockchain-based systems make it transparent and resistant to interference.
Using GPS-based navigation devices has become ubiquitous. People use tools such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and Foursquare, which rely on GPS. However, these services are plagued by a common fault — centralization — which makes them prone to opaque functioning and a central point of failure when it comes to hacking.
