Scottish startup eeGeo raises $5 million to 3D-map the world

Scottish startup eeGeo has raised $5 million from a range of investors, including NetSol Technologies, as it looks to continue growing its 3D mapping platform globally.

Founded in 2010, eeGeo is setting out to revolutionize the digital mapping realm with a 3D representation of the world that’s geospatially accurate and includes detail down to the level of buildings — including interiors. While the company offers up a number of mobile apps to help demonstrate how 3D maps can improve virtual navigation of cities such as London and New York, eeGeo’s cross-platform software development kit (SDK) gives any company access to its maps, similar to how the likes of Google, OpenStreetMap, Here, and TomTom let third parties use their respective mapping smarts.
