Satellite Maps Now Available on Mapillary!

boris · February 17, 2025, 4:43pm

You’ll now see “Esri Satellite” map available in Mapillary on Web, Android, and iOS when you tap on the map style icon thanks to our friends at Esri.

This is in addition to the existing Mapillary light, Mapillary dark, OSM, and Esri Navigation styles.

Great work on this @nikola, @Yaro, and @Anders!

Good work! However, titles continue to be left aligned.

@boris

Btw, what happened to point cloud data?
I am happy that time travel is back! However, I am unsure whether time travel reconstructed images impact each other’s reconstructed camera position. Or, do only 360° panos have the power to impact other images?
Looks like MapillaryJS uses multi‑sampling now, which in general seems fine I guess but may give mobile GPUs a hard time.

Thank you guys for bring the Satellite Maps back.

I suggest a hybrid mode that overlay OSM layers and ESRI Satellite like this.

boris · February 18, 2025, 8:37am

Thanks @GITNE !

Could you clarify what you mean by “tiles continue to be left aligned?” - what specifically do you mean, or what is the problem?

Also I think point cloud data is working fine for me, are you seeing a problem somewhere? (Also, what is your use case for point cloud data?)

boris · February 18, 2025, 8:38am

Thank you for the suggestion on the hybrid layer @saigongiadinh1698 !

Could you clarify what you mean by “tiles continue to be left aligned?” - what specifically do you mean, or what is the problem?

Maybe I should have written “labels” instead of “titles”; map layer name labels in the map layer sub‑menu are aligned instead of center aligned.

Also I think point cloud data is working fine for me, are you seeing a problem somewhere?

I think I have found the cause:

boris · February 18, 2025, 9:38am

Ah, I see. I think the left alignment of the labels is by design.

Good catch on the point clouds javascript error, @nikola - any thoughts on that one?

nikola · February 18, 2025, 10:08am

We updated to the latest Mapillary JS, we’ll look into it.

Anders · February 18, 2025, 1:23pm

Can someone with an iOS see if the satellite map works for you?

GITNE · February 19, 2025, 2:50am

@nikola Additionally, the showNerf query is ignored on initial page loading.

osmplus_org · February 19, 2025, 6:09am

M1 MacBook and iPad, as well as iPhone tested. The new pictures are very helpful.
Thank you.

Anders · February 19, 2025, 8:18am

Great, thanks for verifying!

nikola · February 20, 2025, 12:06pm

Thanks for reporting, this has been fixed now.

Satellite images are back.
These satellite images must be over ten years old. And they have no date.

GITNE · February 24, 2025, 12:27pm

These satellite images must be over ten years old. And they have no date.

They are older indeed but better than nothing.
@boris Some countries provide recent open data and imagery for free, including for businesses. I am aware that adding such imagery per country requires more work on Mapillary’s end than having the globe aggregated by some external provider. So, I am not sure if there is a service on the market that aggregates automated access to these sources for a reasonable price. However, the JOSM developers curate a list of open access free of charge imagery providers for many countries, sometimes even municipalities. I think taking a look at it might be worthwhile for Mapillary.

filipc · February 24, 2025, 2:53pm

They are coarse indeed but better than nothing.

GITNE · February 25, 2025, 9:33am

Excellent!I can see point s again!It is that easy to make people happy.

GITNE · February 25, 2025, 9:41am

I would like to have a virtual ruler, particularly for measuring heights and widths. Should come in handy for mapping width, maxwidth,height, maxheight, building:height, building:min_height, and the like OSM tags. Transport authorities and utility companies would surely also appreciate a height (above ground) member in the API on traffic signs and lamps respectively.

boris · February 25, 2025, 9:45am

Yes, agreed that would be a cool feature! Also glad point clouds are working for you again
