GPS+Digital Camera+mapping+life recording
In our work on 'nonplace' we have been taking lots of wayfinding picture series, and thinking about recording in images everywhere we go. This led onto looking into using GPS to produce your own maps, and linking together the personal maps of many people to produce 'open source' mapping (e.g. FreeLondon). Linked into time, image and sound data from many people and you start to build up a really rich multimedia virtual mirror of the world through the eyes of multiple people. This also ties into moblogging, and projects such as Yellow Arrow, Spellbinder, and MIcrosoft Lab's MyLife Project. I will write more about this in later posts.One obvious tool needed is a digital camera linked to a GPS or other location finding technology. Now I find a number of solutions, and other discussions from a blog in 2003 Headmap discussinglocation aware devices. Rioch has a digital camera that can take a GPS card, and Geospatial Expertssell software that can link the timestamps of GPS and digital photos in the PC without need for a hardware link. $299 a bit steep for me though.

I need to know which service is the best from the ones listed on the site?
Digital Mapping
Vintage cameras are the best but CCTV Camera in Netherlands are also best for the citizens.
