Photos to use for mapping shops

Posted by LivingWithDragons on 17 October 2014 in English.

I’m interested to see how well this could be used to update OpenStreetMap. I always find it easier to be outdoors surveying, and others can spend a lot more time than me editing at the computer. I’ve taken photos along the High Street road through Langley Moor where shops & other features aren’t mapped. If anyone would like to add them, the Mapillary iD editor might be useful. Keeping the map quality high involves working together, so I’ll be ready to answer local-knowledge questions and to have a quick verifying look at the editing work. Let’s try out the possibilities.

Please let me know if you do any editing there as a result. I’m considering if it’s worth collecting photos on a larger-scale.
