    Default Photoless Pubs

    There is now a map showing the remaining 4000 or so pubs without a photo https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs-without-photos/

    Wowser! Where's the emoji for "squeals of photographer joy"?

    That looks really good and definitely something I could use once we're allowed to do non-essential journeys again.

    A thought: I've noticed a few pubs with photos that were uploaded by "anonymous user" some time in 2004. As far as I can recall, these are all in a smaller format and include such things as pencil drawings, watercolours and postcards. (Maybe I'm exaggerating.) Is there any way of defining "pictureless pubs" as those with nothing since the date of these picture uploads? It's quite possible that there are only a few left that have not been superseded by more up-to-date photos, so if it looks like being a big change, just say no.

    Looking good Dave.

    Any chance of a similar feature for unreviewed pubs?

    Just moved this into a new thread to make sure more people see it.

    I've been meaning to do a map of this for ages because I know I'd find it useful, have a trip planned for West Cornwall in May so thought it'd be a good opportunity to get a few photos, turns out there aren't many around there to get https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs-wi...49902343751,11 (notice you can share a URL with the co-ordinates at the end)

    Also, good idea with the 2004 photos, they are added into it now so number has gone up by about 130.

    Certainly can, the trouble comes with loading all 16000 in one go. My computer and phone can just about handle it, but it causes a bit of a strain https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs-without-reviews/

    I am keen to make more use of mapping in general, so ideas for useful visualisations are welcome.

    Absolutely excellent feature and will help enormously - great job! Marginally annoying in that some of the places I have planned for this year have no photo gaps at all, but I suppose that is generally good news.

    Yes. I've noticed some by 'anonymous user' and several I requested to be deleted as they showed the wrong pub.

    Good idea. Though some places aren't worth reviewing - restaurants where a Peroni can be had without food, for example, which shouldn't have been added to the db, IMHO.

    Dave - are you planning to add this to the Stats & Features on the front page? Or are you planning to keep access restricted to Forum users for the time being?
