No Cameras Showing!

mjandar · Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 5:57 pm Post subject: No Cameras Showing!

On the Google map - on the Speed Camera download page - no cameras are showing, no mobiles, no GATSO's, not one, not anywhere. Have they all been scrapped?

What am I doing wrong? They've always been there before.

Have you zoomed in to the correct level? - you need to be at a resolution of 1KM or lower to see the cameras - Mike

Are you using IE or Firefox 2? They don't show in Firefox 1.5

Zoomed all the way in, back out and all the way in again - no cameras showing.

I'm using IE. This is so strange, it has never happened before.

Still no cameras showing.

Please - any more ideas?

Windows XP, Internet Explorer, Fully zoomed in.

My PC did this a few weeks ago, I did a "Restore" to a previous configeration and that sorted it out, but you might want to try some of these things.

Thanks for your help Tanda.

Tried a restore - no change. Tried all the things suggested on the google maps site - no change.

I'm stumped, I get the usual Google map with road numbers, road names, place names and even London underground stations but no "Speed Camera" information at all.

My suggestion was only partly flippant. Have you tried Firefox? It's widely considered to be a better browser than IE.

Andy_2002, It never occured to me that your comment was even slightly flippant, I'll take any help I can get - flippant or not.

I might try Firefox but there is something fundamentally wrong here. The system has worked without a hitch for months and months and months but now it doesn't.

When I have more time I'm going to check more thoroughly, I suspect that it is one little setting that has become corrupted. If I find something obvious I'll let you know.

Thanks also to the others who have offered advice and suggestions.

OK. As suggested, I'm now using "Firefox 2" and no change.

Neither "IE" nor "Ff2" show the speed cameras on the Google "Speed Camera" map.

What next? Any more suggestions? Please!

I'm pulling my hair out with this one. I've logged on to a friends computer (so it thinks it's me) and there they are, all the cameras. Back on mine, nothing.

Please, what else can I do to get the cameras back?

Its a bit long winded, but you must have a setting set wrong, have a look at your mates settings, and see if yours are the same, or try the default settings.

Thanks for that "tanda", I really thought that "restoring defaults" was going to work. But no, still no cameras.

As you say, the other way - comparing my computer settings with my friends - is rather long winded but unless anyone can suggest something else, when I get time, I'll try it.

I'm sure it is something very simple - a tick in a box that shouldn't be there or a tick that should be there.

Anybody any ideas what contols the overlays of the Speed Cameras, Red light Cameras etc, onto the Google map? That might give me a clue!
