In December 2024 Timmy Mallett, the TV presenter and artist, was looking for a way to share his journey around Ireland with his fans. He wanted to create a map that would show the route he had taken and the places he had visited. He wanted to add photos and videos to the map so that his fans could see the places he had been and the people he had met.
Timmy contacted OpenStreetMap Ireland and asked if they could help him create the map. OpenStreetMap Ireland is a community of volunteers who create and maintain a free, editable map of the world. Jonny is a member of the OpenStreetMap Ireland group and responded by creating Mapanory over the Christmas holidays in 2024.
Within a few weeks Timmy had a map of his journey around Donegal and Northern Ireland on Mapanory. He added photos and videos to the map and shared it with his fans on social media.
What will you create ?
