<p>I've tried Mapillary -- not tried OpenStreetCam yet.</p>
<p>Comments mostly relate to the Mapillary Android app:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Mapillary App drove me nuts until I worked out how to take
photos individually when walking, rather than as a continuous
sequence - more car oriented?</li>
<li> Seems to be moderately "fussy" about getting a GPS lock.<br>
</li>
<li>Takes a long while to upload images over WiFi.</li>
<li>Images are removed after loading on WiFi - so can't keep a
backup, e.g. to upload to a second site.<br>
</li>
<li>Battery life may be impacted severely.</li>
<li>Mapillary has a JOSM plugin.<br>
</li>
</ul>
Personally, I think something like running OSM tracker (or a real
GPS) and/or using naive Android photo GPS tagging might be good.<br>
Find a good scripting mechanism to upload - without using the App?
Upload to either Mapillary / OpenStreetCam / both?<br>
Maybe a battery pack?<br>
<br>
There's also a thought that you might even want to pick the least
well-used site -- so that it's easier to find "your own" pictures --
you may find a lot of less relevant shots on popular roads from
others (motorists).<br>
It may be worth seeing how easy it is to filter them by user or
time/date on each site.<br>

<div>Hi everyone<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm in discussions with Transport for West Midlands to use
their inspection teams' time on the street to assist us
by taking photos with smartphones, which will also help
them with their asset management and not have to rely on
outdated data from Google StreetView.<br>
<br>
</div>
Which one of the above is better for us? Or just plain
better?<br>
<br>
