Commissioned by the Government of both islands, the mapping project brings a spotlight on the beauties of those tropical paradise thank to the realization of the Street View of every drivable roads.

In a place where the country GDP per capital is mostly based on the tourism, show all the country, the services, and overall the naturalist beauties, helps the islands to attract more potential customers.

How We Solve This Project

Mapping 2 different islands, one of which is very small, presents several challenges: 
Mainly, the community roads, mostly dirt, which then become muddy with the rain, needs to equip a 4 wheel drive car to easily get out of any difficult situation, but one of the problems is that in Principe, the smaller island, there was any avaibility of car to rent, so we decided to moved, for that capture,  on the common vehicle of the island, a motorcycle!

The mix of both solutions, drived to archive a great result, visible on Google Maps!
