I have the ContourHD, and while it's a fantastic sports cam, it's not
close
enough to usable for reading street signs from just one street-width
away.
Hmm, good to know. What if you're below the sign and looking up?
Yes, it does capture a readable sign image for the near case, provided
that you're not facing the sun (a problem for any cam). It takes a bit of
practice to get the aim correct for looking up at the sign as well - in my
case my eye to laser aim was different for looking up than when looking
down.
Presumably it would be easily good enough for things like tracking the
surface of bike paths, bridges, junctions etc.
Perfect for that - I've even used it to capture house numbers posted on
the mailbox when the numbers are large and have good contrast.
