Adding pocketgps mobile cam locations / help with streetmap

bestyman

Hi all,

Many thanks to all on this site who have come up with brilliant files and utilities for use with TTGo / ov2 files.

I Have just downloaded the latest speed cam database and would like to add a missing one in the mobile cam location section. Is it possible for me to simply park up where the cam is and add via sat position, then email in my updated ov2 file with the added location? I suppose another way would be to browse the map on the TTGo and add the cam that way?

A third ( and possibly easier)way I have heard of is to get the position from streetmap.co.uk but I am not 100% sure how to do this. I have gone to streetmap and put the arrow where the cam is located and I am led to believe that the position is
435725E
435130N
Does this make sense? What I mean is if I emailed in those numbers would that help?
The link to the streetmap with this place on ( York road , Leeds) is

Any comments please?

Regards

Mark Best

Hi me again,

Just been back to streetmap and realised that I was quotingOSX and OSY before. when converted to long and lat they are
lat 64.481786
long 14.733512

Would this make more sense?

Thanks

Mark

Those coordinates would put your point in central Sweden!

Well,
Rather be in Sweeden than Seacroft! anyhow, I think I have it now.
lat 53.810972
long -1.459884

Before I forgot the - and got the decimal wrong.(no idea how!)
For those that are worrying about me submitting speed traps I can double check by typing 53.810972,-1.459884 into streetmap under lat/long to double check.

So supposing that I am in Seacroft and not Sweeden will those figures be ok?

Cheers

Mark

Mark,

Converting your original Eastings and Northings I get

Longitude,Latitude,Name
-1.45894, 53.81124,"Mobile York road, Leeds#M"

so I will use that position :D I hope that it ends up near the right road Wink
