The Tele Atlas vans have between six and eight cameras mounted on them to take images of the passing roads and landmarks. They take three shots per second which are then stored on hard drives located in the van.

The van co-driver views the live images on a tablet PC mounted on the dashboard to monitor the picture quality.
