I'd suggest a digital camera with an intervalometer to capture images every few seconds. Canon PowerShots with CHDK work for this. The mounts look useful but you can get similar mounts separately (e.g. http://delkin.com/c-147099-mounts-mini-mount.html) > From: Colin Smale [mailto:colin.sm...@xs4a

I have been experimenting with a similar device recently and the results are a bit disappointing. Despite the "HD resolution" the images are compressed to death giving a bitrate of 175kb/sec. It is almost impossible to read road signs, street names etc which are the most important things I was

I was thinking of doing something similar, but I was thinking of buying a car camera (something like this http://is.gd/D3WNYL ) but don't know is it any good for mapping. Anyone used video recordings for mapping. I tried video mapping plugin for josm, but it won't load. ___
