Hi Harry, we have set CORS access for all origins. It seems that you are trying to add the tiles in OpenLayers. Could you show me the relevant piece of code so I can investigate?
I have no idea what you are trying to say here. “In the app, when’s taking photos …”: What does that mean? I think an expanded explanation in ordinary English is called for here.
Open the Mapillary app and start taking photos. There is a round icon showing a map. Press that map, and it will show where images have been taken in the current area. The downside to this is, if you do not have internet access. It does not show where you have been right now.
Got it, I think. It’s the small round icon above the big green circle, right? Yes, it shows that there are no photos on my block. I’ll have to rectify that!
Padding text because the forum won’t let me post that one sentence because it’s too short and the forum apparently requires all posts to be at least 20 characters so I hope this is enough you stupid forum software.

Next time just tell a fun fact about yourself
Anyhow, have you tried the minimap recently? In the latest beta there are some fixes so it might just be that it works better for you. Please give a go if you have the time, and give us feedback. Want to make it work properly!
Sometimes street-level image collection is opportunistic. Camera(s) are attached to a vehicle with the primary goal transporting people or supplies, and images are collected along whatever route was already planned. For a dedicated assessment process, a more planned approach is needed. It is critical that imagery be collected as efficiently as possible and that the total required time be accurately estimated.
The vehicle routing problem generalization of the travelling salesman problem asks "What is the optimal set of routes for a fleet of vehicles to traverse in order to deliver to a given set of customers?" Our problem is similar, but seeking to answer “What is the optimal set of routes for a fleet of vehicles to traverse in order to travel all road segments in a given area?”
For effective planning we need to be able to define a polygon area of interest and get the time and routes for 1+ vehicles. Some key planning questions might be: To collect imagery for all roads in this area in 1 day how many vehicles do I need to dispatch? I only have resources and equipment to dispatch 2 vehicles, will I be able to cover this area in 2 days?
Ideally, calculated route(s) would be transferable to a routing app that can be used when the vehicle(s) are collecting the imagery.
Maybe we could start a new thread specifically about that.
I have exactly the same issue and found it strange that nobody solved that issue before.
In urban area, it’s very complicated to decide on the fly which road to take to cover most of the streets and avoid taking the same street multiple times.
The problem can be divided in two parts, the selection of points (for example roads intersections) where we have to drive/bicycle, and the routing app which can make the itinerary for one or many vehicles.
First we have have to export from OSM a list of points of road intersections in a selected area. We can do that with OverPass with a query like that (need to be improved).
After, we have to query from Mapillary all pictures on that area, remove whose who are not part of a sequence (isolated pictures). We have nodes that are already covered, we would like to avoid taking those roads again.
Once we have our points we want to go, and whose we want to avoid, we have to play we a routing service.
For example with OSRM, where it is possible to select points to exclude.
Once OSRM find a valid route, we can export it in a OSMAnd readable format, so people can embedded it in their vehicle.
It sounds interesting, could you detail it more?
I’ve never used PostGis. How did you downloaded OSM and Mapillary data? What query did you use?
It would be nice to be able to make it reproducable for non technical users.
