Man, I wish HERE and/or OSM had an equivalent of StreetView. That's the only thing which makes me use Google Maps at all.

- maxerickson 10y agoMapillary is a company that is building crowd sourced street imagery. They have a reasonably open license (https://www.mapillary.com/legal.html https://www.mapillary.com/legal.html) and allow OSM to extract information from the photos. Telenav is rolling out something similar. They don't really come close to StreetView as far as coverage.
- Brakenshire 10y agoMapillary needs some sort of camera you can buy for $50-150, put on the top of your car, and take decent resolution 360 degree photos. Then the coverage in major city areas would get completed in a few years.
- skykooler 10y agoHERE used to have something like that - it was called Nokia CityScene. I don't know whether that's still around, though.
