Dear CJ et al., I have added the ability to take pictures directly in the app of drinking water fountains and refill cafés which are already in OSM and showing in the European Water Project Web App.
https://europeanwaterproject.org?lang=EN Capturing an image from the webrtc camera and adding the users geo coordinates to the exif meta data was a challenge. The user takes the geolocalized picture within the app and it shows up immediately within the app after getting stored on an AWS S3 storage (with the exif meta data). After that, the images are semi-manually copied to Mapillary and linked to OpenStreetMap objects. I am separately in discussions with Wikimedia about seeing if there is streamlined way to add the images on Commons as well. Here is a video of how the image capture process works: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XbYC1xwsjCySv1g9LPHx3zX07SNtCeuI Best regards, Stuart PS : It's great to see so many refill cafés showing up on the map. We are almost at 300 refill establishments !
