Open street cam looks pretty cool. I wonder how they're combining all of those images. Just looked it at, they're just a sequence of images of a drive. Don't expect a google street view like experience.

It's completely depended on what people contribute, if you collect 360 images with a 360 camera then you can get the google street view like experience. The community contributors to Mapillary have done a lot of 360 imagery.

Do they have a guide on how to setup your rig to get best results possible?

There's a forum where the community talks about capture setup https://forum.mapillary.com/c/contributing-and-equipment
It's varies a bit depending if you're capturing via car, bicycle, foot or any other mode of transport, then again based on your budget and how much effort you want to put into your setup.

#8I wonder how they got gas or diesel... there is essentially none in Zimbabwe right now. Even cooking oil is getting hard to come by as everyone is running it as diesel in older mechanical engines (which burn it fine)

As Robert Mugabe would say, "If you think there is no fuel in Zimbabwe, just sit in the middle of the road."
Lol. That guy was something else.

#10I’d love to see the vast trail systems of the US get the street view treatment.
