I have put together an extremely simple facility to allow users to upload
panoramas and view their location on a slippy map at
http://www.openstreetview.org.uk/. (Sorry about .uk but .org, .com, .net
appear to be already taken). There's also a blog there. It's not so much a
working application as yet, but I thought I'd let people know so that they
can make comments.
I am actually on the prowl today for a USB video camera that I can plug into
the computer in my car to take images as I drive, geotag them (along with
orientation) and upload them as I go. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love
to hear them.
Here's what I've found so far (with some help from Adam Schreiber):
-

- Also, my XBox 360 webcam (when plugged in to my Ubuntu box) can scale up to
1280x...@5fps, which is almost perfect.
I'm trying to refrain from using a digital still camera for two reasons:
1. Lots of snapshots will wear out the focus/shutter mechanism
2. Controlling the camera in a reliable way is hard.
