With tens of thousands of contributors to our platform and with maps being improved with Mapillary data every single day, we\u2019re now taking the next big step on that journey.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re excited to share that Mapillary has joined Facebook to be part of their open mapping efforts.

These maps power products like Facebook Marketplace that drive transactions for millions of small businesses, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dataforgood.fb.com\/\">supply vital data<\/a>\u00a0to humanitarian organizations around the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mapillary.com\/news\/2020\/06\/18\/Mapillary-joins-Facebook.html\">READ MORE BY CLICKING HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Occasionally I will post Press Releases or news if I think they\u2019re of interest\u2026 I don\u2019t endorse any product or service listed here (currently) You can read original press release here.
