Today's #background image: the glass sculpture Red Pyramid by Czech artists Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová. At the Corning Museum of Glass.
I’ve found that I still record a lot of data while hiking. Trail surfaces, POIs, you name it. However I find less and less time to turn these datasets into actual map data. I can’t be the only one that this happens to. Is there some kind of service that connects people that collect data and armchair mappers?
On mapillary I have seen imagery like this a lot of times, so I think it should be ok.
I already found a similar manual survey on panoramax here: panoramax.ign.fr/#background=streets&focus=map&ma…
It seems panoramax.openstreetmap.fr instance is down. There are licensing differences between the ign.fr and the openstreetmap.fr instances, and the ign.fr is France only.
The data deposited on the IGN instance are published under the etalab-2.0 license, and those on the OSM France instance under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.
This etalab license seems something used by the French Government, but I can’t find a lot of information about it on the internet in English. From this official pdf it seems like something more open than CC.
The thing about background spending is it tends to happen, well, in the #background without your full attention. And therein lies the point.
“Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,” these companies assure us. But by agreeing to this trade, we’ve become passive consumers who are allowing the balance of capitalism to tilt away from us. We have ceded one of our key powers as individuals
Sharing recorded tracks / imagery for someone else to turn into data?
