People's Map launch London

We are proud to announce the launch of the brand new People's Map of London.

The People’s Map of London covers 400 sq km stretching from Richmond Park in the South West to Epping Forest in the North East. The rest of Greater London (inside the M25) is in final verification and will be available in early 2010.

Apart from London, we also have complete 1:12,000 scale street mapping of Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Bath, as well as other cities in progress such as Bournemouth, Brighton, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Southampton, Coventry and Milton Keynes.

Over the next few years we aim to complete and maintain comprehensive mapping of the whole of Britain; we have already completed the whole country at a 1:1m (mini atlas scale) and we are well on the way to completing the 1:200,000 road atlas scale.

This first class mapping product comes with fair and flexible licensing too. Since the People’s Map is entirely free of third party copyright, we are able to offer you a flexible solution based on your exact requirements.

All Time Contributor Stats

Here is a list of the top 10 all time People's Map contributors. You will notice that JohnB, who won the Find Freddie competition, has moved into the top 10 for Point of Interest, Line String and Polygon creation with his efforts over the last few months.

In all three feature categories the People's Map is still in top spot since we originally imported the skeleton data, but are also constantly adding more data as part of our commercial projects.

Freddie has been located!

The People’s Map Points of Interest competition, where users were asked to locate Freddie, an Australian tourist, has ended and we are pleased to announce that the winner of the competition is JohnB who not only located Freddie, but also won the prize for creating the most points of interest. JohnB created a total of 277 points of interests in London during the last three months. He only managed to locate Freddie’s position at the Imperial War M during final month just as other contributors were getting closer.

Congratulations to JohnB who wins £250 worth of High Street Shopping vouchers for finding Freddie, and another £250 worth for adding the most points of interest. We would also like to thank JohnB and all others who contributed POI's during this time.

Please keep contributing and keep your eyes peeled for the next competition!

For anyone who may not have been to the Imperial War Museum, here is a little bit of information about it.

In 1917 the Cabinet decided that a National War Museum should be set up to collect and display material relating to the Great War, which was then still being fought. The interest taken by the Dominion governments led to the museum being given the title of Imperial War Museum. It was formally established by Act of Parliament in 1920 and a governing Board of Trustees appointed. The Museum was opened in the Crystal Palace by King George V on 9 June 1920. From 1924 to 1935 it was housed, under very difficult conditions, in two galleries adjoining the former Imperial Institute, South Kensington. On 7 July 1936 the Duke of York, shortly to become King George VI, reopened the Museum in its present home.
