This is the original project. The version on mapillary-commons is an experiment to integrate nearby mapillary images on the wlm-map. But this seems to be broken.

Anyhow the following are now fixed.

It's worth noting that https://tools.wmflabs.org/mapillary-commons/wlm-maps/ also communicates with mapillary.com... but that is sort of the whole point.

That should be fine if the user agrees to loading the third party resources.

@Lokal_Profil BTW. i note it also uses nominatim for geocoding. I created T189879: Set up a Nominatim instance to avoid geocode lookups with Google and/or OSM from tools on that front, you might want to subscribe. Time to centrally fix some of this stuff... some day.. i hope.. :)

Thanks. I'd forgotten about that one.
