Railway station photos
Project Overview and Purpose
• The Railway Station Photos mobile application is designed to support the crowdsourced database project at Railway-Stations.org.
• By using this app, you can help document global rail infrastructure by identifying and photographing transit hubs that currently lack visual representation on the main website.
Regional Availability
• Select from an expanding list of supported countries to focus your search.
• Country availability is determined by database coverage and local freedom of panorama laws, • ensuring all submitted photos comply with local copyright regulations.
Contributor Profiles and Uploads
• Manage your contributor preferences under the "Your data" menu.
• Choose to submit images anonymously or as a credited photographer.
• For credited contributions, provide your nickname and a personal link, such as a Twitter account, for proper attribution.
• Confirm image ownership and manage licensing terms before sharing your photos.
• Registered users can upload their captured station photos directly through the application.
Search and Route Planning
• Use the full-text search tool, accessible via the search icon on the start screen, to quickly locate specific stations.
• Consult the "Station map" to see if your upcoming hiking, driving, or bicycle tours pass through stations that still need a photo.
Display Filters and Proximity Alerts
• Customize your map view to display all stations, only those with existing photos, or exclusively those lacking images.
• Enable location-based notifications to receive automatic alerts whenever you are in the immediate vicinity of a railway station.
