I keep seeing this in edits, but where can you view this “Lyft-owned street-level imagery”??

Even searching for it comes up with nothing.

    Yeah, it’s really unfortunate that nearly all street-level imagery are either locked behind closed doors or have closed licenses.

    I could use Mapillary, but that’s owned by META. The rest are so lacking that it’s not even worth the time to contribute to them or use their existing data set (but this is a chicken and egg situation).

      I stopped using Mapillary because I just couldn’t stand using a Meta product anymore. Panoramax has way less footage, but I started contributing to it myself and then using the footage in OSM.

          (Ooh, a wild mapcomplete mention!)

          MapComplete is mostly for picturers about single elements. We run our own Panoramax server for those images, but don’t generally accept ““real”” streetview imagery where one systematically captures whole stretches of road. Those can be sent to the instance hosted by the french community (for now).
