It seems pretty clear that street-level imaging on OSM is pretty lacking, unless you only want to see highways.
I’m looking to start mapping street-level images for my city, but it seems like there are three players (integrated in the OSM editor), and I don’t know which to commit to:
-KartaView
-Mapillary
-mapilio
My gut is to go with the one with the largest user base (Mapillary), but they are owned by Facebook and who knows what direction they will take in the future or what our images will actually be used for in the long-run.
Karta seems dead.
And Mapilio seems like a knock-off of Mapillary, but with a much smaller user base and an uncertain future.
Are any worth investing hundreds of hours of time to?
You can always do more than one… There is a blo post about someone who mapped their entire town. Took them some time to do it. They uploaded to Mapillary and another, don’t remember which.
@bbbhltz Are you maybe referring to this blog post about capturing all the streets of Brussels in 360° pictures?

YES and https://panoramax.fr/ is the other imagery website I was trying to remember! Awesome.
