About OpenStreetCam

For those who don't know OpenStreetCam, it is a free and open platform that uploads street-level imagery captured by your smartphone and detects salient features from the uploaded images such as signs, lanes and road curvature to improve OpenStreetMap. The images are collected by mappers for mappers, and can be used in iD or JOSM to improve OpenStreetMap. There are apps for Android and iOS to collect and upload images as you drive.
