Panoramax
Panoramax is a digital resource for sharing and using 📍📷 street pictures.
Anyone can take photographs of places visible from the public space and add them to the Panoramax database. This data is then freely accessible and reusable. It offers a similar service to StreetView, Mapillary, KartaView... but a with a completely open-source software stack, and fully managed by a growing open community.
➡️ Give it a try :
- Federated catalog of all available pictures
- French Geography Institute (IGN) server
- OpenStreetMap France server
📦 Components
Panoramax software is modular and made of several components, each of them standardized and ♻️ replaceable. Many of them are historically called GeoVisio, and can be used out of Panoramax context as well.
All of them are 📖 open-source and available on this Gitlab organization.
