Wild Style City is a case history of how earthmine endeavors to offer a complete end-to-end solution for collecting 3D street-level imagery, delivering visually impressive and spatially accurate results for any application.

Local search results may be supplemented with earthmine's 3D imagery, differentiating themselves  from competititors by bringing an extra dimension to local search. earthmine data/developer tools display Points of Interest (POI), geo-referenced data, panoramic imagery, and provide interactive user navigation. Creating and sharing POIs, as well as virtual billboards can also be customized for back-end data gathering activities.

The earthmine spatial platform strives to be a precise 3D reference for localizing the viewpoint of camera-equipped mobile devices. The resulting location and orientation information produced is, according to Earthmine, "an order of magnitude more accurate than consumer GPS and compass data."
