I somehow feel this would go really well with something like OpenStreetMaps.
I realise their mission is probably slightly different, but I at least feel it would be helpful to have all this kind of data in one place.
You mentioned further down you've reached out to other wifi mappers, but how about OSM?
- cpeterso 13y agoOur team has talked about OpenStreetMaps, but we haven't talked with them yet. Our pilot project is still in the early stages of proving data collection is feasible (without an army of Google Street View cars). We don't have enough data to provide a useful service yet for a global mapping project.. yet? <:)
- mtmail 13y agoI don't think OpenStreetMap can benefit directly unless the physical location of the cell tower is known (along with more information like operator). More specialized database like opencellid.org are a better fit. There is at least one OpenStreetMap mobile app (Keypad Mapper on Android) which already allows submitting data to opencellid.org.
