Hi everyone,
I wanted to reach out to let everyone know about two updates related to street-level imagery in OSM. *Imagery locations* There is new imagery that has come in that may be useful for your OSM editing. This imagery can be accessed by toggling the Mapillary image overlay in iD Editor and through the Mapillary plugin in JOSM. *Logan City Council* Logan City Council has uploaded 4.4 million images of road surveys which is about 2,300 km of coverage. New images continue to come in as their asset management teams drive their network. The images help Logan determine priority areas for road and maintenance. The bulk of this imagery was captured towards the end of 2017. The latest imagery they are uploading however is all from 2019. *Port Adelaide Enfield* The City of Port Adelaide Enfield has uploaded 228,000 images and just shy of 1,000 km of coverage. They are using the uploaded imagery to update their traffic sign inventory. This imagery consists of road surveys but also surveys of the footpaths taken on quad bikes. A lot of it is from 2018 and they are looking to upload 2019 imagery as well. *Melbourne metro area* Mapillary and Kaart have been working together to capture much of the Melbourne metro area. Over 1 million images have been captured over the last few months. The imagery can be viewed by filtering Melbourne coverage from September 25, 2019 onwards. *Map features in OSM* You might also be interested in an experimental feature we have at the moment. We have forked iD editor and added a layer for our map feature data. Map features include things like crosswalks, fire hydrants, and bicycle parking. The quality varies between objects and locations, but hopefully you find it helpful. In coming months we will work to integrate this into the main branch of iD Editor so that everyone can make use of it. Currently you need to request map features to have them available in a location. I have already made them available in Port Adelaide and Logan council areas. You can find the full range of map features we currently detect here <https://help.mapillary.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002332165-Map-features>. Many thanks to the cities of Port Adelaide Enfield and Logan for pushing the case to make this imagery available to a wider audience. I hope the new imagery is helpful for OSM editing in Australia. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Ed
