Grab relied on 3rd party platforms such as Google Maps in the early days. However, as demand for their services ramped up, the team began getting more complaints from frustrated drivers who had trouble finding locations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eventually, they decided to solve this major problem with GrabMaps, which is built with data from the 5 million drivers on their platform across 8 countries in Southeast Asia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drivers earn extra income for mapping, and the resulting maps were more accurate. What\u2019s more, they also capture colloquial place names and hyperlocal landmarks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today, GrabMaps\u2019 data includes over 65 million addresses and points of interest in more than 500 cities in the region, adding more than 800,000 kilometers of missing roads. According to the team, they have plotted about 80% of the points of interest they need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The data is refreshed every day, with real-time inputs on road closures, address changes, and other updates. The map\u2019s accuracy even helps drivers reduce the duration of their trips by about 90 seconds, allowing them to complete more orders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last year, Grab became the data provider for Bing and Amazon Location Service in Southeast Asia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full story on <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/41ghkad\">Rest of World<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Other stories you may have missed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup1128\">Zachary Wang<\/a> named EY\u2019s Entrepreneur of the Year 2024 Singapore for pioneering mobility tech<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From a gig with Google to revolutionizing a century-old newspaper, Gary Liu is now on a quest for data freedom with <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup1129\">Terminal 3<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup1130\">SepPure<\/a> leverages membrane technology to offer nanofiltration solution that is 90% more energy-efficient and 50% more economical<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup1131\">Involve Asia<\/a> has driven US$3.3B in transaction value through its 800,000+ partners across Asia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4eUn8JT\">WORQ<\/a> delivered a custom-built office solution for Air IT (Malaysia) to help their workforce thrive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4gbrqNK\">Qarbotech<\/a> is one of 9 winners in the 2024 Global Accelerator Programme (GAP) by Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology &amp; Innovation (MRANTI)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Zjxs8l\">Carousell<\/a>\u2019s Year-in-Secondhand report revealed Singaporean users earn the most from selling secondhand goods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping on track Other stories you may have missed:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5522,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322,319],"tags":[143],"class_list":["post-5521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","category-weekly-roundup","tag-grab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
