| | | Posted by Nihil Novi How about we include historic maps in the database? We would have a theoretically infinite number of new locations!
| how about no? we would have a bunch of new members whining that those locations are old and theyre demolished and theyre disappointed in that and they cant find anything to explore unless somebody gives them Full Membership.. you can view literally thousands of historic maps on any number of websites now why don't y'all actually go physically explore something in real life instead of waiting for your smart devices to explore it for you? (Google street view! somebody oughta slap blackhawk for that one, but in all fairness that's probably where we are headed next) ... vitual instasploring it counts as UE now! at any rate I often include historic maps in my UEDB location's galleries to if I want to show changes in a certain area

| | | Posted by Nihil Novi I've never actually seen the full member database, so I wouldn't know what goes on there.
| How up to date the Database is varies wildly depending where you're looking. Some cities like Toronto and NYC have relatively large urban explorer populations, and the DB may be updated fairly often by multiple members as locations are found or demolished. Other cities (and sometimes entire regions) only have a couple of explorers, and updates tend to be sporadic. Locations may be out of date since sections like this tend to be maintained by one or two members, and when those people stop adding to it can be years before another explorer starts updating again. Essentially, if you want an area updated, you gotta do it yourself. I've found a few locations by tracking down DB entries that are still standing, but I've also found some that were demolished long after the original entry maker stopped exploring. Most of my locations were found through other means.
