I keep seeing this in edits, but where can you view this “Lyft-owned street-level imagery”??

Even searching for it comes up with nothing.

    Thanks for chiming in—this confirms my suspicion about the MapComplete instance of Panoramax.

    An OpenStreetMap France representative on the official forums informs me that long term, the French community’s instance is intended to host photos from France only.

    Just a reminder: the OSM France instance accepts pictures outside of France only for testing… we won’t be able to globally store pictures from all over the world for limited storage reason.

    This means unfortunately, from what I can tell, the rest of the world does not yet have a “home instance” for contributing stretches/sequences of street level imagery to Panoramax.

      The way it was described to me on Mastadon was that, until your area has their own server, you can use the French server. It will work because each picture has its own consistent ID, which won’t change once they are moved to a new server when it comes online. If they changed their mind, I didn’t know.

      I use the command line interface to upload mine, but the web UI is good as well, though a bit slower.
