|
|
Hi,
I sent in a week ago or so a new Monitron camera located on the A124 in Hornchurch, Essex. I beleive I was the first to report it as it only went in the day before. When I went on the Google map to place the camera position there was no marks for this camera. After I moved the Red dot and placed it on, a couple of days later the square box was there in exactly where I placed the position.
Now today the cameras are showing on there? |

I'm sure MaFt will be along soon to give the exact situation, but going by previous posts like this, there are usually about a dozen reports on the day a new camera is erected, and often it seems the crews themselves must report them because they get notified before the cement is dry around the post or the camera is even put on it.
So if you reported it the next day, you won't be lucky this time...
Also if you look at the bottom of the map, it says it will show your own submissions NOT other peoples, (until it has been verified) so that would explain why you saw the red box where you put it.

there were 9
have already responded via email but seeing as it has been posted in the forum too i'll do a brief recap:
free subs are given to the first ACCURATE submission. the submission in question was around 300m away from the actual locations. plus it wasn't the first anyway
