Millions of people rely on digital maps every day to navigate, to discover, to find their way. But maps are only as accurate as the data behind them, and data is only as trustworthy as the people who verify it. Your knowledge of Canada's geography, local landmarks, and how people actually navigate your region is something no algorithm can fully replicate. That local intelligence is what makes maps genuinely useful.
A Day in the Life of an Online Data Analyst
