That's indeed a very good starting point. This is something that can be
done during a mapping party.

As a side note, pictures taking from cars do not always have the quality
that is needed to use for mapping.
I followed a track of pictures on Mapillary the other day, but the
destination signs (in which I was interested were barely readable.)
Typically to far away and the next one was past the sign. The problem to
read the name of a pub. Lot's of work to get the sharp picture in the right
spot.
But after reading the thread on the Dutch forum on Mapillary, I wonder
whether the company is interested in high-res pictures.
