Well, its not the same, although they have similarities in terms of processing and generating data related to mapping and location. Both platforms used for crowdsourced street-level imagery and geospatial data. However, they are distinct services with their own approaches and technologies for collecting, organizing, and analyzing this data. While they may share some common goals, they each have their own unique features and methods for achieving them. ๐ค๐ป๐
I think that "same" in this case was referring mostly to the goal, more than on the methods involved. I understand they are different under the bonnet, but they do the same thing.
Can you please elaborate on their different approaches to collecting, organizing, and analyzing the data as well as their "unique features and methods for achieving them"? It hasn't been obvious to me what their differences are.
