👋 Hey Product Hunt!
Maker here. I built MapBees because every "location intelligence" tool I looked at asked me to just trust a score — no idea what's inside it, no way to check the math, and usually a demo call and a price tag before you even get to try it.
MapBees does the opposite. It's a free, self-serve map where every number is explainable — click any hex tile and you'll see exactly which signals (demand, competition, demographics, accessibility) drove that score, and how much each one counted. No black box, no signup, no sales call.
A few things you can do with it today:
🎯 Score any city block 0–100 for site selection, with live weight sliders
🎨 Bivariate — color a map by two metrics at once to spot patterns neither one shows alone
📍 Territory Mapping — draw real drive-time trade areas and see exactly where they overlap
📊 Market Share — a proper Huff gravity model to estimate who's really winning contested customers between competing locations
It's all built on open data (Overture Maps + public census sources), so anyone can go verify the inputs themselves.
Would love your feedback — especially if you've worked in retail site selection, franchising, or urban planning and have opinions on what's missing or what the math should look like. Try it live at mapbees.com and tell me what breaks!

Drew a 15-minute drive-time around a Berlin address and the territory rendering was instant, no lag or signup wall. The Huff model overlay for comparing two overlapping zones is genuinely useful for anyone scouting locations.

@kranurginidsuf Thanks so much for trying it out! Glad the Berlin drive-time render felt snappy — that's the isochrone engine doing real routing, not just a circle drawn around a point, so it's cool to hear it held up on an actual test. And yeah, it's on the Free Tier, so you can just jump in and poke around without any friction. The Huff model overlay is honestly my favorite part too — it's not just "who's closer," it factors in size/attractiveness of each location to estimate actual demand split, which is way closer to how people really choose where to go.

Drew a quick 15-minute drive time around a Berlin café and it matched my commute almost exactly, which was a nice surprise. The Huff model overlay is genuinely useful for figuring out where a new shop would pull demand from.

@ayferi2xd That's awesome to hear, thank you! It's always a relief when the drive-time matches real life instead of just looking pretty on a map lol. That's basically the whole point of building it on routing data instead of straight-line buffers. And yeah, the Huff model is meant for exactly that — figuring out which areas a new location would actually pull customers from once you've got competitors nearby. Appreciate you giving it a real test, means a lot.

love that the drive-time and transit catchments work together on the same map, makes comparing accessibility across neighborhoods actually feel intuitive instead of a spreadsheet chore

@halit1241755 Really appreciate this one, thank you! Yeah, I wanted drive-time and transit catchments to live on the same map instead of being two separate tools you have to mentally stitch together — comparing accessibility across neighborhoods should feel like a glance, not a spreadsheet exercise like you said.

Drew a 10-minute drive-time zone around my favorite bakery in Berlin and the catchment overlap tool instantly showed me which nearby spots were stealing foot traffic. Honestly impressive that something this useful lives behind a no-signup link.
