Mapillary

A plugin to integrate mapillary with JOSM

(nokutu)

A JOSM plugin for viewing and modifying images from Mapillary as well as uploading new images to the website. It was developed as part of the Google Summer of Code 2015.

Instructions

Open Mapillary layer

Open the Imagery menu and click the Mapillary entry at the bottom (or keyboard shortcut Shift + ,). This downloads and shows sequences from mapillary.com on the map.

At all times there is only one Mapillary layer. If you try to repeatedly open the Mapillary layer, JOSM will toggle the active layer between the Mapillary layer and the OSM data layer instead of opening more Mapillary layers.

By default only sequences are displayed that cross through the area for which you have downloaded OSM data. This can be changed in the Mapillary preferences (see section #Go to Mapillary settings), there is a dropdown to select the download mode.

The alternative download modes are everything in the visible area (download all sequences in the visible map area when zooming and/or panning) and only when manually requested (download only when clicking File › Download Mapillary images in current view, keyboard shortcut Shift + .)

Go to Mapillary settings

1. open in the main menu Edit › Preferences…, or alternatively use the keyboard shortcut F12
2. In the tab named Plugins there is a Mapillary tab

Login

Go to the Mapillary preferences (see section #Go to Mapillary settings). In the top right corner you can see if you are already logged in and a Login button to log in or log out of your Mapillary using OAuth 2.0 protocol.
