Checklist

Checklist for quest suggestions (see guidelines):

• 🚧 To be added tag is established and has a useful purpose
• 🤔 Any answer the user can give should have an equivalent tagging (SCEE quests may not be answerable in all cases, but please keep this rare)
• 🐿️ A survey is necessary (may require knowledge of the subject, though easy answering for everyone is preferred)
• 💤 Not an overwhelming percentage of quests have the same answer (No spam)
• 🕓 Applies to a reasonable number of map data (Worth the effort)

Proposed UI:

How exactly should a user measure this? Should they always carry a tape measure with them and then measure the height of the camera?

Can street measure be used for this ? Otherwise with a laser that range from 10 to 60 euros, useful for other quests like the width of an opening for disability or the height of a barrier. It can also be a rounded value to 0.5m, you don't have to be perfectly exact, it's more of an estimation than anything.
