Become a Map Ambassador
Get paid to make the map better — and to help your own community.
Become a Map Ambassador
Help build the map and support your community — and get paid for it.
No application, no Wise account needed to start. Sign in, pick a track, start earning.
Three ways to help
Build
Review map.ca and submit improvements as ready-to-run prompts.
Earn credits when your improvement is accepted.
Gather
Gather public-benefit ground truth — infrastructure and civic assets your community needs.
Earn credits for verified captures.
Public benefit only — infrastructure and assets, never people or faces. Not-for-profit, privacy-first.
Connect
Bring others to the map — friends, communities, your audience.
Earn credits when people you bring actually use the map.
How you're paid
Verified work earns Map Credits. Credits have two exits — you choose.
- Cash out to your bank via Wise.
- Convert to listing tokens to use on the platform.
No Wise account needed to start — earn now, decide later.
Trust grows with you
Applicant
Sign in and pick a track. Start earning on low-stakes work right away.
Verified
Add a Wise account to unlock cash payouts and higher rewards.
Trusted
Verify your ID for sensitive, high-trust civic work.
Verification only gates sensitive work — never joining. The floor stays low on purpose.
Make it a game
Quests, badges, and streaks point you at what helps your community most — and reward momentum.

Questions
- How and when do I get paid?
- You earn Map Credits when your work is verified. Redeem credits for Wise cash or convert them to listing tokens, anytime above the minimum.
- What about privacy?
- The Gather track is bound by a public-benefit charter: capture infrastructure and civic assets only — never people, faces, or plates. Sensitive locations are coarsened.
- Who can join?
- Anyone with an account can join in one click and start on low-stakes work. Identity verification is only needed for sensitive tasks.
- Do I need a Wise account?
- Not to start. You can earn and convert to listing tokens without one. Add a Wise account when you want to cash out.
- What data do you collect?
- Only what the work needs. Verified civic data is open by default; we never identify a contributor without consent.
