Ideas? |
If your question is "How To" then either stop to make notes where the speed limit changes (though you might class this as a distraction), or use a dashcam or something like Mapillary or OpenStreetCam and check for changes when you're stationary. I don't know what the current status is, but Scout at least had a prototype of real time sign detection in their mobile app: http://sdkblog.skobbler.com/scoutsign-osm/

I created a custom set of buttons for OsmTracker that has a button for each of the normally encountered speed limits in my area all on a single (default) screen. I can just tap the appropriate button as I pass the speed limit sign. If desired, I could post the file and its associated button images but they are for US style MPH signs. No reason the concept couldn't be applied to other countries though. |
Hi Andy / Ed, What about the good old Dictaphone with a tape or digital, both hands on your wheel, but the pain comes later, listening to rumble or nothing between traffic signs, although quality of a surface is easy to mark in the meantime. Mark/describe the place/situation well. |
I have found a few apps (android in my case) that will control the phone camera and take an image at a voice command. I will report back if i find one that works for me.
