Hivemapper raises $3M to be Waze for drones
Today Hivemapper is launching a public beta of its mapping app on Google Play.

The 3D maps show viewers their drone in relation to buildings, trees, and even boats. It also includes information about no-fly zones and accident data, so pilots know what areas to avoid.
In addition to the launch, the company is also announcing a $3 million seed round led by New York-based Spark Capital. Google Ventures, Harrison Metal, Homebrew Capital, Founder Collective, and a few angels also contributed.
