<p>I don't do much OSM editing, but being permanently on the road in
Australia I take Mapillary images that are a useful information
layer.</p>
<p>I would like to get an idea about what routes and features are
useful for OSM editors, so that in my travels I can provide the
best data.</p>
<p>- Up until December last year I only uploaded 1280x720 images. I
am now doing 4K (3840x2160)<br>
- Since mobile data costs are high I upload roughly every 3 months
in NE NSW over NBN. The daily take is around 10-20GB.<br>
- I do not traverse cities or large towns. I am mostly on country
roads and in smaller towns<br>
- I am currently near St George Qld going towards Griffith then up
to Armidale in late May. I then embark for WA through Broken Hill,
do some circling on the Eyre Peninsula, across to Norseman WA and
probably the SW.<br>
- I don't do off road, but gravel is okay.<br>
- My username is bob3bob3. If you wish to check some of my 4K
images, look around Armidale NSW and the Snowy.</p>
<p>Ideas please?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks, Bob<br>
