Everyscape, is a Massachusetts-based startup. It has recent past launched an online mapping service that allows users to not only explore a neighborhood but also to go inside shops and restaurants.

The company employs the services of independent contractors recruited through its Web site. They are trained to operate specialized equipment and then assigned regions and are paid per mile to map. The company is hoping to get the locals involved in this service.
