Talk:Maps and statistics

TODO

• implement better regions for GlobalActivityByWeek so Yerushalmi's Israel expeditions aren't counted for Africa anymore
• include some of the "Not reached - (reason)" categories for ExpeditionGraticules and MostActiveGraticules (not all "serious effort" failed expeditions have Coordinates_not_reached)

-that's an error when they don't : it would be better to have a bot simply add "Coordinates not reached" to any expedition that has a "Not reached - Reason" category. Some of them will probably be mine. :-( - Robyn

• "MostActiveGraticules" alternative view (like on the wiki) that shows running statistics for the most important graticules instead of varying "top 15" for each month
• The description of "World map of successful expeditions" says "The color gradient used is nonlinear, so differences between graticules with few visits are easier to see", but that's not true. Atlanta has 97 successes now, there are 3 unused color shades until Seattle's 52 and every graticule with 1 to 12 successes has the same color. Perhaps fixed colors starting at e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20 (or 3, 6, 10, 15 for even better low-number resolution) could be implemented.

Russia

Judging from the world map, Russia is a string of small islands :-) -- Jevanyn

Yeah. You'd have to research names for the graticules and add them to All Graticules in order to make the continent appear normally, and I think that's not worth the effort if nobody ever plans to go hashing there. Having the coastlines mapped would be useful for context, though :) --dawidi 19:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

User Stats

This is pie in the sky, but look at the stats that geocaching compiles for users! It would be cool to have some fraction of this kind of information for geohashers. Where would you start? You'd need a limited "log find" type interface, I suppose.
