Ever wondered where the maps on your sat-nav device come from?

A man-in-a-van approach may not seem like the most tech-savvy solution but the images and data that end up on numerous navigation devices are gathered by Tele Atlas' vans.

Van-mounted cameras, tablet PCs and hard drives make up the camper-van infrastructure. See more shots of the sat-nav technology here.
