Hi folks,

Forgive me if this has been asked already (I did try a search) but how often is the database updated? Is it simply an as and when, or on a fixed interval?

(I'm trying to plan how often I download it)

Thanks

Hi,

PocketGPSWorld.com endeavours to update the database on a monthly basis, as paraphrased from elsewhere. Although we have known 2 releases to appear in the same month.

I thought the update had been when the email newsletter was sent, but I noticed having just downloaded the database that it has today's date. Perhaps that relates to something else, and the actual files aren't different, but I wondered if that meant the update was more frequent.

An RSS feed for when it's updated would be nice (assuming it doesn't exist already and I've missed it).

Ahhh fabulous! I did wonder if I was missing something, although I'm still curious over what the actual update frequency is.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear before, but it has been updated at least once a month since I joined

Ah yes, I spotted that. But I just downloaded the database and note the date/times are 7:30am 12th Oct.

Unless the constant updating is something related to people with eye patches and parrots on their shoulders?...

I think you'll find that the date and time you're referring to are the details for when you downloaded it.

The latest update was 8th October as stated on the main page.

Have a look at this thread. It will satisfy both questions! It shows the dates of all releases since 28 May 2006, and, if you scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Watch this topic for replies", you'll get a message every time the thread is updated, i.e. everytime there is a release!

there will be at least one release per month. that is the only guarantee. in reality though they are usually around every 2 weeks depending on what else needs doing!

Is the GoogleAd possibly a little well-defined, then, because it says:

HI

I have a question related to the Speedcamera database and the google map showing camera locations.

My question relates to how often the map data is updated: is it at same time when new speedcamera database is made available or at regular intervals between the updates?

The reason I ask, is that I reported a mobile camera last night, now it is on the map showing as MOBILE:40562@60.

No, I am not suggesting I was the first! - but I checked on the map and no camera was shown, so I reported the mobile camera location (better we all report ones we see not listed, than none of us).

Today, after the database was updated, I checked the map and now see the camera is now shown.

All I can say - great work guys, it shows how up-to-date and effective the database really is.


Thanks
