A Car Navigation System That Takes Pictures

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stealing-back-my-best-ideas dept.

Brandon Miniman writes "Navman has brought to market the first in-car navigation system with a built in camera, the iCN 750. The camera lets you take pictures of places you've been. Geographical coordinates are then assigned to each picture, so that you can bring up a gallery, and choose your destination by clicking on a picture." Add to this an always-on, all-sides video camera to document that it was the minivan that strayed into your lane, and it'll be even better.

    Do you know about Amazon's city imaging project? I use this all the time to find businesses on major streets. It's a work in progress, but seems to be easily scalable.


    And for cool factor, I can find my house.
