Mapumental was a web-based application for displaying journeys in terms of how long they take,[1] rather than by distance, a technique also known as isochrone or geospatial mapping.[2][3] It was developed by British organisation mySociety but was withdrawn in 2020.[4]
Users input one or more postcodes and Mapumental displays a map overlaid with coloured bands, each of which represent a set increment of time. Initial work on the project was done by Chris Lightfoot, using open data from Railplanner, Transport Direct and the Transport for London Journey Planner.[5]
It was built with support from Channel 4iP,[6] the former public service arm of British TV broadcaster Channel 4.[7] The software Mapumental runs on is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License.[8]
Mapumental can be combined with other data sets, for example, property prices[9] and ‘scenicness’ data (see ScenicorNot, below).[10][11][12][13][14] It is now provided as a commercial service by mySociety to clients such as the Fire Protection Association.[15]
