[OSM-talk] Countryside mapping - annotated photos for navigation?

The main problem in countryside mapping in OSM remains, I feel, the 
inability to survey things like field boundaries.

So, as another potential idea for Freemap - and countryside mapping in 
general - I was thinking it might be an idea to implement a system where 
users could upload annotated photos of points along the path where it's 
difficult to navigate. See blog post:

Does this sound like a good idea? Any comments on the proposed approach 
would be useful.

Thanks,
Nick
