OpenStreetView review by The Register

OpenStreetView? You are no longer hostage to Google’s car-driven vision
(14 Dec 2016, The Register)

One of the great bright lights of open-source software and user-driven community projects is OpenStreetMap, which offers an open-source mapping platform similar to, but also very philosophically different than, Google Maps.

This review is about Telenav’s OpenStreetView. I find it a little odd, because it mentions OSM at the top of the article (extract above) and also has a link to Mapillary and yet, does not contain a single link to either the topic of the article (OpenStreetView) nor to OSM. Most odd.

Coda:

(with thanks to mmd (see comments)):

The Register review is already well out-of-date as, after OSV attracted the wrong kind of attention from Google, OSV changed it’s name to OpenStreetCam on 25 Nov 2016 and can now be found at openstreetcam.org.

btw: the project’s name was changed to OpenStreetCam very recently : see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2016-November/077058.html and osm.wiki/OpenStreetCam
