Drinking water fountains in Brussels

Looking at the Mapillary tag, I conclude that there are no smartphones in Madrid yet :). Do not use that tag as I did, do not substring it. The people on the wiki are wrong.

Use images. Have a look at my work in Brussels. There are not enough tags to describe them well in Brussels. Maybe in Madrid they are all the same ?

Data and community in the Belgian regions

I prefer to see people taking photographs than people mapping without proof.

Seeing is believing. So I have an overpass query of all the amenities I still have to photograph. Because some people, even many people made a mess of it. Spherical pictures are really ideal to place the nodes on the map. I even make nothing without proper photographic evidence ready to show. So I can afford to make mistakes and my work can be checked immediately.

I just don’t see the reason why to substring the url. It is more work in making and in using. I don’t do it.

How we apply map feedback

So, in short = Mapbox and others like me do work for people who comment but who do not give proof nor take a picture.

Well, I hope I waked them up :) And probably it will, because Flanders is too ugly to take pictures from :(

All right, but all that is old technology. If you look at cutting edge technology, you will see that Flanders is much more advanced. http://www.mapillary.com/map/search/50.5421541479962/4.711973447947685/7.45194108308305

Do not forget the most important device/app = a dashcam.

I use the Google Maps spoken navigation. But I don’t know how to use it with waypoints. Maybe with an email to myself. You used a 2 seconds interval. So you missed some connections between pictures. And in the city you must have missed traffic signs. The smartphones have only a 50 ? degrees angle of view.

The Samsung S5 allows for 128 G SD. That is the one problem I do not have.

First Missing Maps in NL and Mapillary

Pictures of the Grote Markt in Brussels are allready in Mapillary. But I’ll try to do better.

It’s a pitty that we returned in the dark and did not film our emergency stop (nearly a fatal crash) on the E19 in Rumst. A little problem with Mapillary is that the filmer does not have proof of an accident as with a dashcam. Today I used Mapillary and Mozilla Stumbler together. Tomorrow I’ll take pictures of the Grote Markt in Brussels. Also a première.
