Update: Color-coded representation of the age of photos

osmplus_org · March 13, 2026, 6:27am

A recent update to the website, mapillary.com, now includes a toggleable option that uses three different colors—red, yellow, and green—to indicate the age of recordings. I find this new feature very helpful for planning my next trips. What do you think of it?

Note: It’s possible that the red and green colors are currently reversed in the labeling of this function.

It looks as reversed to me as well. cc @nikola wdys?

Good catch! The feature is not new, but the UI has been updated a little bit. @nikola - the text labels are reversed indeed

nikola · March 13, 2026, 1:22pm

Thanks for reporting! The labels should now be in the correct order.

Labels are fixed.
Now got 3 same console errors though.

Activating the color-coded display function makes it easy to identify older Mapillary recording series. Finding a suitable route for new recordings isn’t as simple as it seems, so for me—for example, in the city of Munich—it would be easiest if I could select an old recording series and extract a GPX file from it for navigation. Then, for a new recording, I would simply have to follow the old GPX track. Is there a way to extract the GPX track from a historical Mapillary recording?

Even better would be a navigation aid for new recordings that works like the arcade game Pac-Man. If outdated recordings appear in an old city as red Pac-Man dots, I would simply have to follow them and collect points. Now that’s what I call fun through gamification!
