Abstract
Systems, devices, features, and methods for community-based collection and use of data for mapping and/or navigation are disclosed. For example, a method is provided for use of community-based data for mapping. A camera image from a mobile device is associated with a geographic location. A processor executes an image recognition algorithm on the camera image. An address or business logo in the camera image is identified with the image recognition algorithm. Address or business logo specific information is determined based on the address or logo and the geographic location. The specific information may be contact information or business operation information.
