Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Honeycomb Maps and our location intelligence tools.

  • Honeycomb uses a unique client-side architecture powered by WebAssembly, which means all data processing happens directly in your browser. Your data never leaves your machine or security perimeter, eliminating many traditional security concerns. This approach inherently supports privacy-by-design principles and helps meet GDPR and CCPA requirements since sensitive data stays within your control.

    • Latitude/longitude coordinates
    • H3 hexagon indexes

    The platform is particularly well-suited for point-based events common in mobility and last-mile delivery industries.

  • Yes, Honeycomb is designed to handle large datasets efficiently. We use H3 spatial indexing and WebAssembly technology to process data quickly in the browser.

The exact performance will depend on your browser and device capabilities since all processing happens client-side.
