They Fought Every Weekend About Where to Camp. So They Built the Map.
Sarah Smith and Kevin Long kept fighting over where to camp. Their fix - a crowdsourced map of every campground in America - now pulls in tens of millions of visits a year and more than 12 million reviews.
The Map That Knows Who Owns the Dirt
onX began with a Montana hunter loading property lines onto a GPS chip. It now sells millions of subscribers something more valuable than a pin on a screen: confidence about where they can go, what they will find and how to get back.
PocketGuide Inc.
PocketGuide is a GPS-based audio travel guide app that turns a smartphone into a hands-free personal tour guide. As travelers walk through a city, the app detects their location and plays professionally produced commentary from local narrators about nearby landmarks, restaurants and hidden corners. Founded in Hungary in 2009 by Martin Retai and later incorporated with a US presence in Redwood City, PocketGuide grew to cover more than 150 cities across five continents, with tours that work offline to avoid roaming charges.
