Useful things to know

  • While Meet Your Mappers techincally works on a mobile device, it is made to be used on a laptop / desktop computer.
  • At the bottom of the list, you will find an Export to CSV button. This lets you download the list as a CSV file that you can use in other programs.
  • If the list is very long and you are looking for a particular mapper, you can start typing their username in the text box that says Filter by username
  • We go back one year to get active mappers in the area you selected.
  • Only boxes are supported at this time. If your box is too big, we will tell you. You can start over with a smaller box. The maximum width and height allowed is 1 degree. The larger the box, the longer it takes to retrieve the list
  • You can sort the list by clicking on the headers.
  • Only the top 100 mappers with the most changes in your area will be displayed. If you download the CSV, all mappers will be included.
  • The website loads new data from OSM in the background, so we are always up-to-date!
  • Please use this website only for personal or OSM volunteer community purposes.
