[OSM-talk] Free the postcode maps

[Barnett, Phillip]

 At least in the UK, streetname signs aren't particularly distinctive,
so I don't think that would work - see the lower white sign here for a
typical example http://www.flickr.com/photos/weezie/64550267/

What about building a comparably small box with a webcam and a GPS-Mouse
attached, which automatically makes shots of streetsigns as soon as it
get the typical colors of streetsigns intosight?
My start to do this is a little bit documented here:
