SurveyMapper – How Happy are You? A Global Survey

By free polling, surveymapper

Do you want to know what people are think about that new town plan, do you want to ask peoples views on a new product, perhaps you are carrying out a straw poll or do you want to collect data to input into a scientific model? If the questions can be asked or surveyed, all you need is SurveyMapper.

The beta release of SurveyMapper, a free real-time geographic survey and polling tool from the nice people at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London, is looking like it is only a few weeks away. If you have used other ‘polling sites’ then you will be up to speed, except we have taken away the restrictions and added real-time mapping into the mix.

We currently have the UK covered down to postcode level (that’s the level of your street), the world divided into countries with a higher level of detail coming soon.

As part of the move towards Beta and allowing people to set up their own questions, we have created a test survey to find the worlds happiest nation (this allows us to test the global mapping function).


To take part head over to SurveyMapper.com and then select Current Surveys – thanks a lot if you do take part.

Keep up with the SurveyMapper twitter feed for news on the beta release, new features such as blog embedding, twitter voting and a preview of the coming soon professional version allowing advanced spatial analysis and demographic integration.

You can of course also follow us direct on Twitter @digitalurban.

After five happy years under the .blogspot domain we have now moved to www.digitalurban.org. This is to allow a few more options for future growth and to allow us to focus on the various new projects and the MRes course under a new domain.

Thanks to all who voted in the beta test of SurveyMapper 70% voted for the move to a .org (yellow on the map, red was to move to .com and blue to leave it ‘as it’). All your old bookmarks should remain in place, the only change is that all the tweets are unavoidably reset to ‘0’ so you can retweet any of the 1500 posts…

There maybe the odd glitch during the next few days as the domain settles in but it should all settle down.

So welcome to www.digitalurban.org and onwards to the next five years of tutorials, courses, news and views on everything urban and digital.

You can of course Follow us on Twitter for all the latest news…

Jamie Thompson has put together a handy little webservice that mashes up postcode geodata with the Street View Images API. In short, it allows you to get access to the unwarped Street View panorama and the underlying tiles.
We have put together a short movie to show the service in action:

As Jamie states, its handy in that it let’s you directly request a street view thumbnail with nothing more than a postcode.
The format of the request looks like this:

You can try it out here – just type in your own postcode.
Thanks go to Dr Chris Speed for picking this up, you can follow Chris on twitter.
