Description (last modified by hjart)

Hi

The guys over at Mapillary.com recently has created an enhancement to iD which lets mappers traverse their image sequences from within iD. As an experienced and dedicated JOSM user though I would much prefer being able to do this from within JOSM. I love Mapillary and at this point has about a dozen sequences totalling ~1000 images in there and regularly check other sequences/images for useful info, so I would very much appreciate if anyone finds some time to create a useful Mapillary plugin for JOSM.

Apparently the Mapillary guys currently doesn't have the extra resources for this (see the end of https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_issues/issues/148), which is why I'm asking here.

Thank you

Not that I could contribute any code to this but just wanted to chime in that a JOSM plugin would be absolutely fantastic.

I've been doing a stack of photo mapping over time and used OSMTracker until Mapillary arrived this spring and would just want to note that what exists already with showing the photos in JOSM (locally, though) is pretty much what I'd love to see with Mapillary photos too.

Also, as a related note, I can already view Mapillary photos locally by simply dragging and dropping (local) photos to JOSM. This produces a very nice experience for the part of the photos that are dropped in as JOSM shows even a nice directional "beak" (that's what it looks like more than an arrow) to the direction of what is the compass reading in the photo.
I'm not sure where the functionality that I currently see in JOSM comes from as I have a few photo related plugins activated -- but it's great.

If there only was a way to pull information dynamically from Mapillary's API into JOSM and see all the photos that everyone has uploaded for a given area. That would be just great. I'd by a case of beers to anyone who'd do that. And/or would happily chip in at least $20 to a Kickstarter/what_not crowdfunding project for this.
