Hey!
A few quick suggestions:
- overlaying by network type (e.g. by ticking/unticking a box). 3G networks are obsolete and clutter the map.
- a “reverse” heat map and/or chart - to visualize and thus identify areas/cells based on:
- the lack of coverage/data submissions
- the number of measurements recorded for a cell
- the age of the submissions
- radial cell coverage: The F.A.Q. points out that a mast consists of several antennae, with each antenna covering an area within a certain radius. If (a fictitious example) the map data includes a lone cell record based on many, regular submissions taken from the same position (latitude/longitude), it would suggest that there are other cells to cover the other radii, but the data has not yet been collected (for whatever reason).
- if possible: exclude inaccessible areas based on OSM characteristics (like surface type, boundaries etc.)
These ideas came up after I read this article. With the options above, data contribution and the improvement of data quality/quantity would be much more target-oriented.
cheers
