Mapillary

Overview​

To get around faster, in OsmAnd you can use street-level views of your routes or places of interest provided by Mapillary (an internet connection is required).

The Mapillary layer brings street-level imagery straight into the OsmAnd app. So you can easily overview the surroundings of any place of interest or along the route you have planned. If imagery is missing, you can add it by yourself and others can make use of it. This feature has emerged from our collaboration with the Mapillary team uniting the benefits of both apps.

Setup​

To display street-level images on the OsmAnd map, you need to make the following settings:

  1. Enable the Mapillary plugin in the Plugins section of the Main menu.
  2. Display the Street-level imagery on the map for the required profile in the Configure map menu.

Map Layer​

Map layer of street-level imagery is displayed on the OsmAnd map as rows of connected green dots. Mapillary user’s photos are attached to these green points. To open the street-view photo, you need to press on the green point and pictures of a selected place will be shown. You can create a filter and select what photos you would like to display on the map.
