Re: [Talk-GB] Waylens camera and OpenStreetCam

Sorry, just realised it's not the 360, but does the Waylens have wide angle settings? I've found that acquiring much info, such as shop names, require it. DaveF On 22/11/2018 14:15, Dave F wrote: Hi Jez What settings did you use? The images appear to be a quite narrow field of view

Re: [Talk-GB] Waylens camera and OpenStreetCam

Hi Jez What settings did you use? The images appear to be a quite narrow field of view for a 360 camera. Do you have examples of wide angle? Cheers DaveF On 22/11/2018 13:53, Jez Nicholson wrote: I've been trying out the new Waylens camera on loan from OSMUK https://osmuk.org/camera-rental/

Hi There are lots of sites giving advice on GPS usage, but one I tip I found useful was always keep a charged battery in your unit. Even though it's switched off it still receives the occasional signal from satellites to keep track of their locations. if it loses coordination with them it can

Hi I've had similar in my area, also by Amazon Logistics *, where they added a short section around a gate like one you've indicated with access=private. I removed it as you can drive right up to the gate. This is tagging incorrectly for the router.  It's the gate which is the restriction.
