On the home page of the Crowdmap you can filter the people by their contribution categories (all or only one) by clicking on a category. In this way you can easily find specific contributors on a specific place on the map.

Other Uses

Other useful features of the Crowdmap are:

  • Reports - get an overview of the last submitted reports.
  • Get Alerts - receive notifications if somebody within 1 to 100 km submits a report with a chosen category.
