<p>As an active user of the site and iD, I often find myself wanting to verify the placement, tagging, or up-to-date-ness of OSM map features by looking at street level imagery.</p>
<p>This requires me to either:</p>
<ol>
<li>Wait for iD to open and then select Mapillary or Kartaview map layers</li>
<li>Go to Google Maps or Mapillary's site (which I usually do)</li>
</ol>
<p>Clearly this is not optimal and could be solved by providing the services as map layers on osm.org.</p>
<p>It is known that because these services provide their data for OSM voluntarily for editing purposes, we don't provide imagery directly on the site.</p>
<p><strong><em>However,</em> what if we only provided the map layers for logged-in users?</strong> This would limit access to "editors" and limit the usage of the resources.</p>
<p>Allowing the map layers for logged-in users could also possibly apply for aerial imagery as well (<a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="81064558" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/974" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/974/hovercard" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/974">#974</a>).</p>
