[Talk-GB] Mapping from a survey

[Tony Shield]

Hi Mark

When I'm mapping new developments I survey them by using Mapillary 
whilst driving, cycling or walking; usually with my smartphone in a 
mount or selfy-stick (selfy-stick adds stability whilst walking).

Upload the gathered data to Mapillary. Mapillary then displays pictures 
and track on their website.

Using a plug-in in JOSM shows the track and pictures. Map the objects 
into OSM using JOSM.

The Mapillary reference can then be added to the OSM object as evidence 
(there is a shortcut button to do this).

I find that as a good workflow for new developments.
