Do you have something like a public roadmap to check what features are in progress?

Hi @zufir - we don’t maintain a public roadmap, but this forum is a great place to stay in the know. Is there a particular feature or functionality you are interested in?

5

Yes, there are a few features that I would like to have:

  1. Choise of lense (to use wide lense or zoom lense)
  2. Use camera zoom or crop viewport to hide a hood of vehicle.
  3. Panorama by shout series with rotating regular none 360 camera around one axe.
  4. Ui improvenent to delete not uploaded series at once(eg. when there is an issue with focus, now only one photo by one)
  5. Pause shooting when tilt lense to ground works none correct(I see my shoes in the sequence)
  6. Unable to see details of photo in explorer mode (like three dots menu in web application, to check model)
  7. Unable get key of photo (to insert into OSM tag malillary=*), only with full url
  8. Remote control

Thank you for sharing these! FYI @Yaro, @Anders .

Very quickly:

  1. Choise of lense (to use wide lense or zoom lense)

This is already part of the Android app, but if you don’t see it on the camera screen, your phone may not be supported.

  1. Use camera zoom or crop viewport to hide a hood of vehicle.

Thank you for the suggestion! We’ll put this on our backlog.

  1. Panorama by shout series with rotating regular none 360 camera around one axe.

This is not something we’ll likely implement in the near future as we generally focus on a sequence of images, not single images

  1. Ui improvenent to delete not uploaded series at once(eg. when there is an issue with focus, now only one photo by one)

Can you explain this more? If there is an issue with focus and the images have been uploaded and deleted from your phone, why is that a problem? You can delete the blurry images after upload.

  1. Pause shooting when tilt lense to ground works none correct(I see my shoes in the sequence)

This should be working, is it working sometimes for you, or not at all?

  1. Unable to see details of photo in explorer mode (like three dots menu in web application, to check model)

Thank you for the suggestion, we’ll put this on the backlog!

  1. Unable get key of photo (to insert into OSM tag malillary=*), only with full url

Thank you for the suggestion, for now you’ll need to use the web app (which also works pretty well on mobile)

  1. Remote control

Thank you for the suggestion, this probably isn’t something we’ll work on, but there are third party tools that allow for this type of functionality.

Xiaomi Mi 10T with 3 lenses - no option to select
Samsung S24 with 3 lenses - two option to select
Probably there is point in application to implement this feature better.

  4. Ui improvenent to delete not uploaded series at once(eg. when there is an issue with focus, now only one photo by one)

I took photos. Sequence has “ready to upload” status in android application. I check photos and found that all they have issue with focus due dirty windshield. I don’t want to upload such photos so I need to select each photo to delete it because I do not see button in android application “Remove all photos”

  5. Pause shooting when tilt lense to ground works none correct(I see my shoes in the sequence)

This should be working, is it working sometimes for you, or not at all?

Function is working, but it has time lag before stop shooting that is why wrong photo is stored into sequence and it will be uploaded if I will not delete it manually.

Got it, thanks!

I do not see button in android application “Remove all photos”

There is a little hidden feature on the homepage, if you swipe left on the sequence, you will get a confirmation dialog to “Delete capture?” and that will let you remove the entire capture (instead of removing images one by one).

Function is working, but it has time lag before stop

The lag may also be phone dependent, I just tested with a Google Pixel and it seemed to stop right away so I never captured my feet, but we’ll keep an eye out here as well.
