[Talk-GB] Anyone in Canvey Island?

I use the ITO's OSM Mapper tool to find out who has been working in a given
area.

It does not tell you where a mapper lives but it does tell you who is most
active and hence who is likely to know the area well.

Once you have set your loacation, you can seen nearby mappers, but there
seems to be no way to click on an area and find mappers nearby (unless you
just temporarily change your location, which I just did). Must admit I never
saw any recently active mappers on Canvey Island.

Actually amazed how many users have no edits against their name.
