communiMap helps you explore your area through movement, nature, observation and reflection. Log journeys, share observations, and add to a growing community map. From tree spotting to composting, your story helps shape a bigger picture of local life.
Local people notice things about their area that no official dataset ever captures. communiMap is where those observations go.
What is communiMap?
communiMap is a free observation app. Record what you notice in your local area, trees, wildlife, flooding, green spaces, and add it to a shared map built by the people who live there. Your observations go to researchers at the University of Glasgow, contribute to a growing public dataset, and are already feeding into a Hunterian Museum exhibition opening in 2027.
No expertise needed - The map is public - Started in Glasgow, open to anyone anywhere.
As you add spots, you earn rewards!
A physical starter kit after your first observation, digital badges, and monthly prizes for the most active spotters.
Developed by the GALLANT project at the University of Glasgow, communiMap is currently being piloted in collaboration with local groups, schools, and residents throughout Glasgow. The App is designed to be flexible, inclusive, and adaptable, making it accessible for communities anywhere, interested in exploring their environments collectively.
