Improving exploration #16

Open olafveerman opened 5 years ago

olafveerman commented 5 years ago

The StreetView component is currently very cumbersome as a way to navigate the dataset. I've been trying to get to a particular location for 10 minutes now, without succeeding.

@danielfdsilva @ricardomestre What has your experience been? Will the 'recenter on house' feature solve this? Are there other things we can do, like allowing click on the map?

danielfdsilva commented 5 years ago

Agree that the street view is not forgiving. I think mapillary doesn't have all the images properly aligned which makes navigation very difficult.

The "recenter on house" will just bring you where you were. It won't help you finding anything specific. Allowing navigation through the map is a quick way to jump between points, we can implement that

But if I click on a building footprint somewhere else on the map, and subsequently hit the 'Recenter on House', it won't take me to that position?
