I also prefer the backroads rather than main drags and shoot with a GoPro at 0.5 second intervals. I also have Garmin Virbs which I have used for Mapillary. One thing that is useful in small towns is a cruise around the main and back streets with a camera at 90 degrees (I shoot over the road from the drivers side) to capture shop fronts etc. This can be useful for business points - the local butcher, hardware shop, addresses etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I tend to map randomly in OSM. Sometimes its mapping towns facing natural disasters (ie fires, floods, cyclones etc) and at other times just areas of interest - Outback stations I find on satellite imagery or obscure routes I have travelled in the past. Having Mapillary images helps immensely in these obscure places. It’s a way to pick up station names, road names and especially road surfaces.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Keep up the good word<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Phil (aka tastrax)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> Bob Cameron [mailto:bob3bob3@skymesh.com.au] <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, 7 May 2019 9:56 PM<br><b>To:</b> talk-au@openstreetmap.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [talk-au] What data is useful - request for ideas<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><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.<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p><p>- Up until December last year I only uploaded 1280x720 images.

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.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Ideas please?<o:p></o:p></p><p>Thanks, Bob<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
