While I agree that changing peoples mapping habits is possible by posting about certain mapping subjects, or developing apps, I do not see why it is wrong to question whether a typical mapper only maps what interests him/her or whether they also map other stuff.
I map a lot of items in which I have no personal interest, but because I know other people are interested and because I want to work on the best map possible. Are there other mappers that map e.g. playgrounds (even if they do not have children) ? Or are playgrounds mainly mapped by people with young children? Is not it worth to investigate this type of mapping habits ? m p.s. Who said you have to start mapping what you do not want to map? I might have missed this with all the cross posting going on.
