That's indeed a very good starting point. This is something that can be done during a mapping party. As a side note, pictures taking from cars do not always have the quality that is needed to use for mapping. I followed a track of pictures on Mapillary the other day, but the destination signs (in which I was interested were barely readable.) Typically to far away and the next one was past the sign. The problem to read the name of a pub. Lot's of work to get the sharp picture in the right spot. But after reading the thread on the Dutch forum on Mapillary, I wonder whether the company is interested in high-res pictures. regards m
