Week ago I integrated TomTom API to STA web backend. Now all submitted points pass reverse geocoding and they have speed limit from TT.
Btw, TT offers free plan with non-billable 2500 daily API req ... |

Do the confirmation alerts update the PGPS database? If not, how do you stop them being shown?
Many thanks,

Part of your life that you will never get back.
True, but anyone stumbling across this in the future will see that we're serious about the database and put a lot of effort into it. |

Having a look at the Waze editor now to compare. Quite a lot of the cameras on that stretch were added on 19th August 2024. Some that we have had in the database for 5 years.
A handful were late 20 ... |

I don't know how Waze operates
Does it just accept all submissions regardless ?
If so then taking my verifications as just one example, over 75% could be wrong. A lot of submissions I've seen ar ... |

It's odd that the PGPSW database hasn't been updated, especially if Waze already has them. You'd think with 30 cameras over 20 miles, the council or someone would have flagged it sooner. Relying on us ... |

it shouldn't be solely on users to report every single camera, especially when there's such a large number.
It's worked for 22 years. We also use official data where available but that's very spars ... |

Google relies on user submissions as well
I don't know about Waze, don't like it, but Google Maps has very few cameras

I don't think you're meant to use the SD Card for the maps to put cameras on!
From what I understand you use a USB memory stick as per the installation guide here: https://www.pocketgpsworld.com/uk ... |

has there been any progress to get the database on the tomtom go 5000?
You would need to ask TomTom to put the feature back. It's nothing we have any control over to be honest.
