<p>Not commenting directly on the pros and cons, but through their
cooperation with Here using mapillary for this would make the
material directly available to a competitor too. Now you can
consider this a good thing or bad, but in any case it needs to be
considered.<br>
</p>
<p>Slightly OT;<br>
</p>
<p>while I don't have any first hand knowledge specifically about
the UK, but continental Europe has a largish number of companies
that do that kind of photographic asset management professionally
(and which seem to have an at least half working business model
because they still exist). The results of the surveys they do tend
to not be open to the general public for privacy reasons and so
on, but getting our hands on that kind of material would be great.
Naturally these kind of things tend to be "slightly" more
expensive than using a smart phone camera.<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outdated data from Google StreetView.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>
