Installed 4 weeks ago and the two week grace is up now.
An additional one on the A4020 is also missing from the database.
51.50911N 0.35247W Westbound 30 mph.
This is in addition to the one outside Ealing hospital. This road also used to be 40 and then changed to 30 by them removing the 40 mph signs - sneeky!
I have also spotted two on the A40 between Whitney and Burford, but lost the co-ordinates. _________________ iPhone5, TomTom, Google maps, Navfree, Viewranger and Apple Maps (ekk)

Do you mean Witney as that’s my local area ( sort of ;) )?
I know of one fixed camera (Gatso: 5231@60), which was accurately placed the last time I passed. Its location is about 1½ to 2 mile east of Burford. However I haven’t been on that stretch of road for a few months.
Does anybody know what the A40 is currently like west of Burford, i.e. between Burford and Cheltenham as that road used to be Gatso Alley, a few years ago, until all of the units were pushed over. Are all of the cameras on the PGPSW database?

Just a reminder Simon, don't forget to email new cameras to cameras@pocketgpsworld.com too.
As moderator Oldboy said recently:

They are more likely to be picked up if sent by email. If posted here, not only does it clutter up the Forum but someone has to do a search for them.
Also, have you got the latest database? Because I reported the Northfields Ave. ones to them a few weeks ago and they were in the July download.
The've also already got two cameras marked along that stretch of the A4020 Uxbridge road by the hospital, one between the river bridge and Warncliffe Drive and the other nearer the Iron Bridge between Haliday Square and Alderson Place. They're both marked as 30mph too.
Incidently, as it sounds like you're local, I don't know what system you use, but if it uses TeleAtlas maps (like my TomTom), have you noticed some of the map funnies around there? As well as not knowing about Half Acre and Station Road having locked gates across them and the pedestrianised bit at the clocktower, it also thinks that you can't turn right onto the Uxbridge road from Windmill Lane at the Iron Bridge; and finally, just on the other side of the road, if you're driving south on the Greenford Road and want to rurn right towards Southall, my TomTom completely ignores the Tee junction, gives no spoken "turn right" and thinks the road just bends to the right onto the Uxbridge road.
I reckon it was a friday afternoon when they visited around there!!
Andy, sorry, I have not updtaed them, but better be safe thans sorry.
As to be a local... Try the Donut at the bottom of Bostom manor Road by GSK. A4 out of London it says turn right!!! The last person that did that ended up in a Hospital
Visit was Friday afternoon after a long lunch in the pub! _________________ iPhone5, TomTom, Google maps, Navfree, Viewranger and Apple Maps (ekk)

And if you ignore that illegal instruction, rather than sending you round the circular bits to turn round, it tells you to do an illegal U-turn at the next gap!
I reckon they didn't make it out of the pub at all that afternoon, just made it up from the A to Z book.

Hi Simon,
Yes, we noticed some markings just after a petrol garage but there was no camera there. I was with my boyfriend at the time and he said that he can remember a camera being there a while ago but it has since been removed.
We didn't see a second set of markings with no camera, but maybe we didn't travel far enough on the A40 as we turned back a few miles after the petrol garage markings.
