The main website is not really meant for end users but rather as a tool for contributors; there are several other search engines and apps out there which perform petter on several respects.

It really depends on your scenario. In some African countries, access to both laptops and internet is rare; but phones are ubiquitous. Vespucci really shines there, even if it less user friendly then say iD (which is not useable in such a scenario)
Can we publicly see the images? In either case: you can reach out to the panoramax-devs here: https://app.element.io/#/room/#panoramax-general:matrix.org It’s always interesting to hear back from users, even if those are small usecases
Have a look at https://mapcomplete.org/food - it has reviews (through mangrove.reviews) and you can upload pictures of menus there.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Reminder/invitation to contribute to OpenStreetMap
10·17 天前As developer of https://mapcomplete.org/ - I cannot allow contributors to edit geometries. If I did, I’d have to show all geometries in the vinicinity, which would make it way more confusing for a non-technical user.
Even then, geometry cannot always be exactly determined (e.g. shops in a mall). And some communities even agree to never use geometries for some types of POI!
Ohhh, you did setup your own Panoramax? That’s cool :) Do the devs know that? There aren’t many instances out there yet.
Shameless plug for https://mapcomplete.org/ which makes it easy to see and contribute to OpenStreetMap. It has a bunch of maps per topic, making it easy to see what is interesting to you. It also guides (new) contributors, making it very hard to make mistakes.

1·20 天前My 2 cents: they buy this data from TomTom. But I’m speculating here
In Belgium, we consider it redundant and remove them, as the boundaries are completed

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Gmaps alternative with location ratings? Mapy?
7·6 个月前https://mapcomplete.org/ has reviews in some maps (such as the food map); but there are not a lot of reviews as of now. So, go out and review ;)

4·7 个月前You can add reviews and pictures with https://mapcomplete.org/shops
have a look at https://mapcomplete.org/trees - you can add pictures and it has plantnet.org integrated to recognize tree species automatically
Oh, yeah, no it isn’t open data. This type of data is very hard to build in an open data way: people don’t like to contribute privatey data and they will only use such a system if it is big enough…
No, definitively not it. It shows the sphere and even some city names, but just no background map:

It rather is that Mapbox doesn’t trus my browser and gives me a “forbidden”:

Guess firefox isn’t corporate enough for them!
Why does it not load tiles on Firefox nor Librewolf?
My bet: https://www.mapbox.com/traffic-data But where MapBox gets the data? No clue






The remote mappers cannot see what a building is and what amenities (such as shops, schools, …) it has inside.
Allowing to edit geometries always introduces complexity, so there is a fundamental choice you need to make there
