Comment on Tiny Code Reader: a $7 QR code sensorparent

That seems easier to do by using OpenStreetMaps and a GPS trace. You would need the businesses to cooperate by putting a QR code out, so they might as well cooperate and keep a maps listing up to date.

I could imagine maybe OCRing the results from a line-scan camera. That would read all the business signs and street names as you drive by them.

”Attractions along the route” must have been a standard feature on satnavs since the very first standalone TomTom sucked onto your windscreen. Newer cars having Google Maps built in make this even richer.
