I use a gopro max, a 360 camera. Not the best quality since it's 5.6k pixels shared in all directions, but quite nice. A 360 video gives "true" streetview navigation compared to uploading pictures.

My problem with KartaView is that there is no new images in my city since ~2019, and very little is covered. So no one here uses it. While someone needs to start, I guess, it wont be me. The municipality where I live has however mapped >800 km of city streets themselves in Mapillary, so it's a good source to expand on and where I can fill in the gaps with cycling related stuff.

Thanks, that makes sense. In my town the usage of either one is so marginal I don't think it matters which I use. And even if I decided to visit the nearest city and start from scratch with KartaView, more recent data wouldn't obviously hurt. And I've got time hah.

As I'm just a beginner I don't think a 360 camera is worth it just yet, they are quite expensive compared to regular ones. And I can imagine putting it on my helmet would get some attention from bypassers, unlike a normal camera mounted on the handlebar.

Yeah, lots of attention, hehe. Especially since when I'm filming for street view usage, I in addition have it on a pole sticking a bit up from the helmet, such that the helmet+myself covers as little of the nadir as possible. So quite some looks!
