Resurrecting Meet Your Mappers

Zapsal mvexel 29. 8. 2020 v jazyce English.

A couple of years ago, I released the Meet Your Mappers tool that helps you find active mappers in your area based on live and historic OpenStreetMap data. It is different from other tools that let you locate nearby mappers in that it analyzes actual OSM data instead of changeset metadata, giving a more accurate result. It also categorizes mappers so you can see only ‘power’ mappers, or filter out mappers who are no longer active. I wrote about this tool on my blog before.

I didn’t advertise the tool very much since, and few people were using it. In a server switch it even went offline for a while. Now it’s resurrected, and I also published a video explaining how to use it.

I hope it’s useful, let me know if you have questions! Here’s a direct link to the tool.

The tool https://mym.rtijn.org/ works fine. Ping mym.rtijn.org -> no answer. Ping rtijn.org -> host not found.

Nice tool. Somewhat misleading to rank users based on that area alone; leads to ‘new mapper’ title with 1 edit labeled for a user from 2016 with over 4k edits; just need to understand that its entirely based on the selected region and not the user as a whole.
