Hi everyone I'd have thought that from a TfWM point of view, Mapillary pics going through to HERE would be a positive advantage. If they want their junction changes to be immediately available and working for a wide range of routing providers and self driving vehicles that is. Paul

Not commenting directly on the pros and cons, but through their cooperation with Here using mapillary for this would make the material directly available to a competitor too. Now you can consider this a good thing or bad, but in any case it needs to be considered. Slightly OT; while I don't have any first hand knowledge specifically about the UK, but continental Europe has a largish number of companies that do that kind of photographic asset management professionally (and which seem to have an at least half working business model because they still exist). The results of the surveys they do tend to not be open to the general public for privacy reasons and so on, but getting our hands on that kind of material would be great. Naturally these kind of things tend to be "slightly" more expensive than using a smart phone camera.

Which one of the above is better for us? Or just plain better?
