I think we can start compiling the jpeg files ourselves. Can we have a new thread on junction photo needed by different map sections? Whoever has the access to a certain junction can go and snap it (while not driving) and post them up. I would think a low res (480x272p) like the splash screen will do. or even half the size.. This will enable more people and chances to have the pics cos it can even be taken from mobile phones. Just make sure the full junction is included and the important landmark is included.. It is time we forge our energy for the good of the colony. Just my 2 cents..

Thanks to the hard work of those involved in this project, MFM has over 1,000 junction view pictures for Klang Valley alone! :thumbsup:

The possibility of making JV for Garmin is still low but when it is possible, Garmin users will also enjoy the hard work of our JV team :D

Bug Garmin Asia.

Get them to open up their tools/API to MFM without any conditions that is restrictive or dominating MFM operations.

No offense. I think mobile phone shots cannot make it (even with Nokia N-series).

Good photos with sharp wordings, clear signage and overall brightness (daylight) is essential to produce good JCV graphics (using automated tools or manual human work).

Thus, I strongly suggest using an above average digital camera (not those mobile phones) with at least 3.1 megapixel, set to maximum resolution to take the photos.
I agree, Bro Edchuang,

Your photos suffer from low resolution and poor focus. If you are taking the photo on foot, the best is to use a DSLR and a tele-zoom and shoot for further away so that the whole junction can be captured in a narrower angle to fit the GPS screen. If taken from the car, the best you can do to ensure sharpness and sufficient resolution is to use a good compact camera and select the resolution to between 4-5 megapixels. You can always do PP and resize later.
Lean not on your own understanding

My experience shows that the windscreen does degrade the picture quality quite substantially when shooting from inside a car, even with good DSLR.
