The Global view for MascotMap can now run against Postpass. It's crazy fast. Still working out why subregion queries are crazy slow. Computers.. amirite?
You can try it yourself!
I am trying to work out how to get MascotMap pulling from Postpass. My current best result is that Postpass takes twice as long as Overpass to return the same data. Hopefully I can nerdsnipe someone into showing me a more efficient query.
Fortunately, I am an absolute noob so it's probably easy to do something better!
Squeaking this one in under the wire for my timezone buuuut…
Happy National Mascot Day!
Make sure your local mascots are recorded on OpenStreetMap.

More than 100 folks have contributed data that powers MascotMap. I am so happy to have so many folks engaging with the map in this unusual way. Thank you everyone!!
While you're there, be on the lookout for unmapped long jump, high jump, and pole vault pits.

Attached: 1 image Everyone has been enjoying mapping school mascot info so that calls for an actual map! Feel free to contribute icons in the repo and of course more data to the database. Yes that is a school that has a potato for a mascot. The fightin’ russets! https://github.com/watmildon/HighSchoolMascotMap https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/59042 #higschool #openstreetmap #maproulette #mascots #sports
Today in Great Aerials, high schools in the United States often have the school mascot emblazoned into the football field. A nice peek into the local culture as you scroll around.
If you’d like to get more humorous mascots added to MascotMap (by contributing to OpenStreetMap), we have bite sized tasks to review in a MapRoulette project.
