So this is for situations where 'normally' I would take a video of me walking from A to B and then send it to someone so that they know the way from A to B.

The benefit this service offers in these situations is that it speeds up the video and allows me to put a map next to it.

Do people actually use first person video to give directions?




I envisage it would primarily be used by people who live or work in a place that people have problems finding.

This is normally a big deal for businesses who deal with a lot of deliveries. An especial problem for places that have specific entrances and possibly need forewarning that they're arriving

Yeah this is a new idea, I've seen people upload directions on youtube though


Yes. A friend rents a ski apartment, a few minutes walk away from the train station. He sends guests a short video clip of how to find both the unit and the keys.


I've been given directions to short term rental apartments with a series of photos. This would be much nicer as less chance of taking the wrong turn.
