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](https://www.esri.com/).

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.

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?)

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.

I think I have found the cause:

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?

1. Satellite images are **back**.
2. 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.

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.

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