[HOT] Launching MapSwipe

Sun Jul 31 13:32:38 UTC 2016

Hi all,

Quite a few of you reported the repeating tile issue in mapSwipe. Just
wanted to let you know that we think we've resolved this now.

The project completion was also skewed by this, so you'll notice they have
lower completion percentages now, but these should be accurate. Means we've
mapped less area in real terms than we thought, but it also means projects
should go much quicker now because of the more efficient distribution of
effort.

A few more fixes are included in the latest update (available now on
android and soon on iOS). Well publish a blog post tomorrow with more
details...

Thanks for your patience!

Pete
