Camera location accuracy in the database

SamHunter

Probably a silly question, but is there a means of fixing the camera locations in the database.

The majority of camera locations I have submitted were taken with a handheld GPS receiver while I was standing beside the camera. The coordinates are accurate (or as accurate as I could get them Rolling Eyes

Will these cameras start wandering about the road as people use POICapture?

For each camera location we review all submissions and then select the one that is most likely (at the intersection, ant the Gatso pylon, etc). You can specify the recording method in the comment field, and that can help us to weigh submissions accordingly.

POICapture can only be as accurate as the point in time when the copilot presses the record button.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a dig at the database, or it's accuracy in general. Just seems that once a camera has been checked for existance and location, call it verified if you want, then all further positional updates are meaningless. The only update that means anything after that is if the camera has been removed.

That was really the basis of my question, seems a bit strange to me that a camera position that has been verified would be allowed to move to another location just because it looked more likely on a map 8O

It wouldn't. Once a location is verified and confirmed its location is locked and will only be altered by an update notifying of its removal.
