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 hoping to capture. However it did come with a
nice solid windscreen mount with a standard screw thread so I am
actually considering buying an inexpensive "real" video camera for
mapping use. They are getting cheaper, smaller and lighter all the time,
now there are no moving parts required.

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.
