It is the interesting idea to see where people tend to look at the map
mostly and improve these parts as a priority. I think this relation
could be also inverted.
I read recently an article "Wikipedia edits have massive impact on
tourism, say economists" [1]. This article reports that it was proven by
the researchers at the Collegio Carlo Alberto in Turin, Italy, and ZEW
in Mannheim, Germany, that improving a Wikipedia article of a town,
adding some quality pictures in the article, increases the flow of
visitors to this town.
I think that improving the map of an area, adding some POIs, GPS traces,
links to Wikidata items, links to quality ground and aerial photos etc.
will also have positive influence on tourism, general security, and
economic activity.
I agree that we are to work primarily on the areas which are already in
demand, but it makes also sense to map blank regions. If possible to
visit them to see if there is something up there. More often than not
there is an interesting monument, an archeological site, a footpath, etc.

The other layers are available in the right Overlay panel.
Have a good day.

Hi mappers,
We’ve polished our visualization of the need for OpenStreetMap data,
and its quality. We’ve been building Disaster.Ninja tool to assist HOT
in their activation process, but believe it’s also useful for the
general mapping community.
Kontur OpenStreetMap Antiquity layer lets you see where people look at
the map tiles versus when the map was last edited. Good way to see
undermapped regions that are explored by the users in search of data.
We base the layer on tile views information, thanks Operations Working
group for making it available for such analysis.

Kontur OpenStreetMap Building Quantity is now pointing to a lot more
missed buildings. This became possible thanks to Copernicus releasing
a high resolution global landcover classification raster, and
Microsoft providing the computer vision detected buildings for Canada,
USA, Uganda and Tanzania. Look at the gaps here:

I know this layer was used to plan some mapping parties in Ukraine already.
Check out the other layers if you haven’t seen them, too. :)
To support this visualization we combined all the available public
datasets (Facebook Population, OpenStreetMap, Microsoft buildings,
Copernicus) into a single world population dataset. If you need it for
your analysis, get it here:

Hope to hear your thoughts on this update.
