Do you fly occasionally during dusk hours and have a window seat? Then you have the potential to gather street lamp information.

Take your phone out and record the world from above.

Of course good weather conditions need to exist and aligning the gathered data with the map might have an initial learning curve.

@barefootstache are there any org like Mapillary or Kartaview organizing the collection of flight video to separate the concerns of mapping (more learning curve but can be done anywhere) and recording (low learning curve but requires expensive air travel)?

afaik the trickiness exist in the fact that GPS cannot be tracked directly on one’s phone, thus aligning what you see on camera and your actual position is not straight foreword.

There do exists flight tracker websites so one could get the GPS track. Though one needs to remember that one is recording on a camera angle, thus the GPS track is not just a line but more like a stripe.
