Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 12:39 pm Post subject: Missing Truvelo.... |
|
|
I only subscribed yesterday and was looking forward to a reasurring bleep when approaching speed cameras. Imagine my surprise when the nearest Truvelo speed camera to my home address (On the A508 between the M1 junction 15 and Roade village) never even mustered a whimper as I passed it by. My Tom Tom One was completely oblivious to the camera that has been there for years. It can't be a programming error because it readily acknowledges the next Truvelo on the other side of the village a mile further down the road. What explaination is there for this |

Explanation - It's not in the database. Simple really. Sumit it as recommended and if you are the first once verified you'll get a free lifetime mebership.
Remember the datbase will never be 100% as cameras are put up and taken down all the time. Some also take long to verify than others. |

Before I start............I am a beginner at this and I have a similar question about cameras that have been in the same position for years!!
On the 12th June I reported that GATSO2875@40, which is on the A22 at Halland in East Sussex, had been removed from the database. This camera is not far from my home and I drive pass it frequently. I say "removed" because it used to be in the old free versions of the database.
Firstly, I assume that someone must have reported that the camera had been removed and secondly, that someone else subsequently verified that the camera had been removed. Except it has not been removed. It is still there and has been there for some years, so how can this happen? At first I thought ok, these things happen. But on reflection, how do they happen? And do they happen frequently?
I have no gripe with paying for the camera database and I appreciate that as with any database, errors can creep in. I just want to understand the process used to verify submissions. Who repored that the camera on the A22 at Halland had been removed and who "verified" the supposed removal? Are the procedures for verifiying the removal of a camera different to those used for adding a camera? I ask because it would seem that it is better to leave a "removed" camera in the database until absolute verification has been made.
thanks

That's life Please, as has already been suggested, submit the details/location of your camera, in the hope that it gets added back in again. I hope you won't take offence, but given that you are a relative newcomer, are you sure that this is a speed camera and not some other traffic monitoring device? _________________ Jock

No offence taken.
You are correct that I am a newcomer to this forum, regretably, I am not a newcomer to the camera in question! I can assure you that this is a real working Gatso that has been there for many years and that it was included in the earlier free versions of the database. So I think my question asking who submitted a deletion request and who verified the deletion is a fair and valid question.
As my post said, I had already submitted this camera. It was after doing this that I began to think how can a camera be deleted? Hence my post. You said that "cameras will accidently get deleted". I understand this may be the case but I still do not think it unreasonable to want to know how this camera came to be deleted from the database. Was it an accident or deliberate based on a submission/verification?
Thanks

Hi Andy
I would like to have the question answered by the database administrators but I am not sure how I direct the question at them. You clearly have more experience of this forum, can you assist?
Thanks

Yeah I do the same....
When the new version comes out I check all mine against it. Used to be I could then delete them all each month, but now I have to keep quite a few from month to month |
