### The Mission
## The Mission
Commercial street-level imagery is often locked behind restrictive licenses, proprietary viewers, and paywalls, making it inaccessible for researchers, urban planners, and the general public. We are building a sovereign, open-source alternative for Canada.
By self-hosting a **[Panoramax](https://panoramax.fr/)** instance, we provide a decentralized platform where field imagery is treated as a public utility: fully downloadable, API-accessible, and privacy-compliant.

### The Infrastructure

### Data Products
## Data Products
Unlike commercial platforms that only offer a "view" of the data, we provide the **data itself**.
* **API Access**: Full programmatic access via the Panoramax REST API for querying imagery by location, date, or sequence.
