The Roads Have Eyes
Friday 16th October, 2026
MapQuest added a map layer showing reported locations of outdoor surveillance cameras and licence plate readers, including Flock Safety devices. The hook is simple and striking: make the often-invisible surveillance infrastructure along people’s everyday routes visible on the map they already use.
Why it worked: It turned a polarising policy debate into a concrete, tappable map layer, using crowdsourced data to visualise hidden surveillance in real time.
The lesson: Consider mapping an unseen system your audience worries about, using crowdsourced pins and a cheeky tagline to spark local, personalised coverage.
