Features & Capabilities

MapSwipe is a mobile Chrome extension designed to enhance global humanitarian responses by enabling users to identify vulnerable communities using satellite imagery. Developed in partnership with the Missing Maps project, MapSwipe allows users to select crisis-prone regions and quickly swipe through satellite images, marking features such as villages, roads, and rivers. This crowd-sourced information accelerates the mapping process, assisting medical professionals and aid organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to locate and reach people in need faster.

By participating in MapSwipe, anyone can contribute directly to critical medical and humanitarian activities, reducing the time mappers spend analyzing uninhabited areas, and thereby improving the effectiveness and speed of emergency aid delivery worldwide.
