Mapillary in the OpenStreetMap iD Editor

Note that Mapillary has some downsides. In addition to the CC-BY-SA license, the Mapillary T&amp;C (<a href="http://www.mapillary.com/terms.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mapillary.com&#x2F;terms.html</a> 1.3) give them the specific right to reuse user content as they wish, without attribution. (This is different from OSM, which uses the ODbL.)<p>Also, even though the license is CC-BY-SA, section 1.2 of the T&amp;C prohibits commercial use. Further, I see no data dumps provided (or statement of intent to provide some eventually), unlike OSM, StackExchange, Wikimedia projects.<p>Last, the smartphone app seems to be closed-source. (If it is open-source, I couldn&#x27;t find the source.)<p>It is great news that people are trying to develop a Google Street View replacement, but OSM&#x27;s will to let people use this data to improve OSM (like they do for Bing satellite imagery) doesn&#x27;t imply that this project is as free as OSM.

Misleading title.<p>openstreetmap.org doesn&#x27;t have a Street View function. Mapillary has been integrated into the default _editor_ (the wonderful iD) as an aid to mapping. It&#x27;s not exposed to non-editing users.

For those who don&#x27;t know, Mapillary is attempting to be an open source, crowd sourced equivalent of Google Street View. You can download the app on your phone and do some street view today.

Street view is a ton of data and uses custom hardware, and seems to be done in a fairly systematic way in order to cover most of an area.<p>So they&#x27;ve got their work cut out for them. That said, at one point I wasn&#x27;t that optimistic about open street map either, and all of a sudden it seems like they now have very good data - at least where I live.

Just installed it on my WP, and I&#x27;m really glad there&#x27;s an app available (most neglected platform).<p>Congrats to Mapillary for becoming the default street view. I hope to help in my neck of the woods!
