Snap Inc. is putting some muscle behind Snapchat’s Snap Map feature with its acquisition of New York-based startup StreetCred, which had been working on a location data platform.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The existing StreetCred platform will be shuttered, and four members of its team will join Snap, including co-founders Randy Meech and Diana Shkolnikov.

Prior to StreetCred, Meech and Shkolnikov were with Mapzen, Samsung’s now-defunct open mapping subsidiary, as CEO and engineering director, respectively.
