About this app

Mapillary is the street-level imagery platform that scales and automates mapping using collaboration, cameras, and computer vision.

Anyone can capture images of any place, as often as needed, with any camera—including smartphones. Mapillary combines all images into a collaborative street-level view of the world that’s available for anyone to explore and use for improving maps, cities, and mobility. Computer vision technology provides a smooth viewing experience and speeds up mapping through machine-extracted map data.

Capturing with the Mapillary mobile app is the easiest way to join our contributor network. Let’s get started!

CREATE YOUR OWN STREET-LEVEL VIEWS
You control when and where to capture to create the freshest street-level imagery. Mapillary’s technology combines all images into a navigable view and blurs faces and license plates for privacy.

ACCESS AND OPEN UP DATA
Mapillary contributors are people, organizations, companies, and governments in 190 countries. Millions of images are added to the dataset every week, which you can explore right here in the mobile app.

MAKE BETTER MAPS
Use imagery and machine-extracted data to add details to maps and geospatial datasets. Mapillary integrates with tools like OpenStreetMap iD editor and JOSM, HERE Map Creator, and ArcGIS. To access the available map data, go to mapillary.com/app.

Ratings and reviews

Every update removes functionality. There used to be more control over image timing and distance between photos. Gone. But my biggest gripe is that I can no longer select which way my phone is facing relative to the car. My recent uploads all show it on the map as though the photos were taken backwards. This is incorrect as the phone was facing forwards. I plan to do sideways facing soon, so they need to fix it. I plan to use the photos to upload OSM, *IF* they can be quality.

The most recent capture tends to disappear after capture, then maybe pop back up later. Right now my recent capture switched to processing then disappeared so I have no idea if it worked or not! Once you start uploading your images beware they're essentially not yours anymore. Turn off auto upload so you can download them beforehand! They should let the user who took the capture download the image later even after upload!

Update: the dev responded to say they fixed it. They haven't. It's still useless. Absolute garbage. Clicking on the map in explore takes me to some random place, that I didn't touch, and then I can't change it. No help in app, and I can't work it out. Single press, double press, press and hold, nothing does anything to change where I am on the map.

What’s new

* Tapping on the map on Homepage now jumps to the most recent capture (either uploaded or not uploaded)
* Screen dimming during capture now has a longer delay and dims a bit less
* Updated the selected sequence representation on maps to be more legible
* Misc smaller UI/UX improvements
