Contribute With the capturGO App
All contributions come from your mobile device. There are three main ways to help:
1. Move With the App (Passive/Active contribution)
capturGO passively collects anonymized movement signals while you walk, drive, ride, or explore the city. These signals help strengthen the mobility network by updating:
Road speeds
Traffic patterns
Routing behavior
Road activity changes
Road closures or slowdowns
General mobility trends
You do not need to interact with the app while moving. Just enable background activity and go about your day.
This is the easiest way to contribute and the one most people start with.
2. Verify Places and Capture POI Photos (Active Contribution)
CapturGO needs to know which places are real, open, closed, moved, or changed.
When you pass a point of interest, the app may ask you to:
Confirm it exists
Check if it is open or closed
Take a quick photo of the storefront or sign
Add missing details like hours or category
Report if the place has moved or shut down
These small tasks help keep the map fresh for everyone.
All POI photos are processed securely, and CapturGO automatically removes or blurs identifying details whenever possible.
3. Report What You See on the Road (Active Contribution)
Contributors can submit simple, real-world reports that help improve safety and navigation:
Construction
Roadblocks
Accidents
Lane changes
Heavy traffic
Flooding
Hazards
Temporary detours
These reports give the network the context that raw GPS data alone cannot provide.
Even one report can help thousands of people travel more safely.
