Uploading pictures is again possible. We ditched IMGUR all together and are now adding pictures to a custom @panoramax -instance (namely panoramax.mapcomplete.org). Thanks to @thibaultmol for doing the hosting! #OpenStreetMap

Very good news to end the week !

One more public Panoramax instance to add to the meta-catalog available on panoramax.xyz

in reply to Panoramax

Jup! Keep in mind that this is a bit an odd instance, as they'll be mostly independent images. And people cannot register on this instance, only add pictures via mapcomplete.org
in reply to MapComplete

But it is still useful to see them in global federated catalog panoramax.xyz !

@clifton panoramax.mapcomplete.org is a closed instance and only meant for pictures from MapComplete.

However, panoramax.openstreetmap.fr is AFAIK an open instance, mostly meant for France though. And the idea is that more servers are set up, e.g. one for your country. Talk about it with your local community.

@clifton yeah, the french server is allowed to be used if your region doesn't have a server yet, they've said.

I just tried out the new panoramax integration and it works great! 🎉

Hopefully @everydoor and @streetcomplete consider integrating Panoramax in the future too. (:

@fexplorer funnily enough the mapillary mobile app allows you to save pictures locally on your phone instead of uploading them.
But most people tend to walk/cycle with camera's like gopro's.

What's a good time intervall with a usual camera on a cycle ride?

How can one contribute to panoramax?
Is it possible with the osm account?
in reply to FediVerseExplorer

@fexplorer What do you mean exactly? uploading images you mean? or like providing translations or something?

uploading on the mapcomplete panoramax instance can only be done via mapcomplete.org and adding images on individual images.

if you want to record many images (for actual street imagery), then you'd have to upload to a different instance (like panoramax.openstreetmap.fr )

Thanx, I mean uploading street imagery. It seems, that for now, it dosn't exist a german panoramax instance? Is it intended to have different panoramax instances or will panoramax.openstreetmap.fr be the only one?
in reply to MapComplete

That's awesome! Could that instance allow upload from other sources (such as Android apps similar to StreetComplete) to contribute to OSM?
