![]() Users can also modify uploaded imagery using changesets, making it by far and away the most community orientated platform. It appears they did start to run a driver program in 2020, which I imagine is superseeded after the aquistion by Facebook’s own imagery collection. Mapillary is prodominatly user submitted imagery. Both camera manufacturers, and software builders (ourselves included), can build ontop of the Street View platform. Google has managed to foster a large community of high-quality contributors using their Street View ready program. However, I cannot find any references to uploading your own imagery in the current iteration of the product. ![]() In 2010 it looked like StreetSide accepted user submissions. CommunityĪpple’s Look Around does not support any kind of user contributions of imagery. I could not find any official numbers for StreetSide coverage, but I would estimate it sits below Street View and Mapillary from a simple glance of coverage using the Bing Maps web app. As of August 2020, this site claims Look Around now covers 14 metropolitan areas, with the addition of Seatle, Nagoya, Osaka/Kyoto, Tokyou. ![]() In April 2020, the sevice covered 10 areas in the US. Unlike Street View, this count assumes all user uploaded images and not unique kilometers (in many cases roads have been captured multiple times).Īpple’s look around is the newest street-level offering on the market. ![]() As a reference point, in July 2018 Mapillary claimed 5 million kilometers (but sadly no image count). It is unclear how many kilometers this represents. According to the CNET article posted December 2019, there is 10 million miles (16.1 million km) of Street View imagery online.Īt the time of writing the Mapillary home page proudly claims 1,289,873,858 images uploaded. The tech giants – Microsoft, Apple and Facebook – now all have products built around street-level imagery. Google first launched Street View in 2007. How do the major street-level mapping products compare?
