[Talk-GB] OpenStreetCam or Mapillary?

[Marc Gemis]

Then I would go with Wikipedia, you can more or less chose any open
license you want for the pictures.
Those pictures will show up next to Mapillary and OSC photo's on
http://projets.pavie.info/pic4carto/index.html

As to what is interesting:

we map:

* landuse
* POIs (shops, hotels, ...)
* destination signs
* traffic signs with max speed, weight, height
* bus stops
* etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc....

so any picture with such info is welcome. But it really depends on
what one wants to map.

regards
