Visual clarity to support better decision-making
Spatial storytelling made simpleH3 cells turn complex geographies into a consistent grid that’s easy to query, filter, and compare.
Layer with other datasetsIdentify density, overlap, and whitespace with simple aggregations, not expensive polygon intersections.
More than a catchment areaTravelTime H3 returns travel-time metrics per cell — not just a single boundary line.
New York H3 example
"With TravelTime H3, we went from rendering complex polygons to a simple, elegant hex grid that clicks with users. It's easier to process, easier to filter, and way faster to display."

Why teams are moving from polygons to H3

Spatial questions evolve as your data grows. What starts as, “Is this point inside this boundary?” quickly becomes:

  • Which location is fastest to reach?
  • How much do service areas overlap?
  • Where are the gaps in coverage?
  • How does accessibility change by transport mode?

Traditional workflows weren’t built for this level of scale or iteration. TravelTime H3 is.
