Emilio, you should probably prerender low zoom overlays. As it is now the low zoom levels are rather pointless, because the number of images show is capped.
Currently it shows up 10,000 light circles. I'm thinking about adding a control bar, so you can choose how many to show, in case your browser allows more load without issues.
In low zooms Great Britain should be much brighter than the rest of the world (even if it does not say anything about image quality of the geograph project).
I know that, really any part of the world should be much brighter (now limited to a random sample of 10,000).
A heat map would actually be a better way of visualizing this data.
I'm not sure of that. I like the darkness/light contrast, well defined by circles.
I have added different markers for normal, quality and feature images. I hope you like it. This tool doesn't intend to promote bad quality pictures, but showing which places need more coverage.

Can you imagine what it means? :-) Zoom to solve.

This is a really cool idea. Now I want to go fill in the little holes

Thanks for sharing it (and putting it on Github). My one request would
be
that you provide a way to view the images themselves from the map.

Yes, it is a basic feature. Now the images are shown from the zoom 10.

Hi all;
Since I watched the project Geograph Britain[1] long time ago, I
dreamed
with a global version. I have been playing with maps (mostly Google
Maps) in
the past years, but now that I'm migrating my tools to Wikimedia
Labs, I
started to read about OpenStreetMap and Leaflet.
I have made some tests and coded a pretty alpha version of the concept.[2] It shows circles of 500m radius for every geolocated
image on
Commons (there are about 4 million). Not all are shown at the same
time, but
only 10,000 per zoom level. So you only have to make zoom on your
city or in
the search box.
Some examples:
- Barcelona
http://tools.wmflabs.org/commons-coverage/#12/41.3927/2.1407
- Moscow
http://tools.wmflabs.org/commons-coverage/#10/55.7252/37.6290
- Montevideo
http://tools.wmflabs.org/commons-coverage/#11/-34.8200/-56.2269
So, I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions about the idea
of
scaling Wikimedia Commons into a project with at least 1 image per km2 globally.
The code is in GitHub[3] and it is forked merging 2 examples of the thousands of Leaflet library examples available. Currently the code is pretty simple and you can help to improve it.
