Camera submission notification

[Gantelope]

Hi,

I have submitted a number of cameras lately for inclusion and one for removal from the database. Apart from the automated 'thanks for the submission' email I have heard nothing.

Can I expect to receive an email letting me know if the sunbmission was accpeted or not and whether I was was the first to submit it? If not how do I know what is going on? I have seen other posts along the same lines and to be honest without some sort of feendback people will get fed up submitting updates just to hear nothing back. And, let's face it, the database is only any good if it is kept updated.

Thanks for reading this post, hopefully I will get some feedback at some point.

Ian.

Hi Ian,

Welcome to the forums!

From our Speed Cameras Frequent Questions Page:

Q. I've submitted a brand new camera, but I haven't received my free membership. Why?

A. We get 100s of submissions every month and it is not unusual for new cameras to be submitted by several different people.

You will receive a separate Free Lifetime Membership email if you have submitted a camera that is consequently verified by us and you were the first to submit it. If you don't receive a email, please check http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account every now and then to see if we have extended your subscription. If we haven't, then your submission wasn't successful.

Where the submission was both verified and first, we will of course always extend all memberships automatically whether or not there is email communication, for instance if your ISP blocked our email as commercial.

For general information it is worth noting that we get dozens of incorrect entries (middle of fields, North Sea etc.). These are not malicious, just genuine mistakes with submitters entering the wrong data. So whilst someone is absolutely certain that they've submitted a camera position, it isn't necessarily so that we have included their data.

We also sometimes, though rarely, have to wait longer than we would hope for some cameras to be verified. Overall, we're pleased to report that month on month the quality and volume is increasing, but, by the very nature of the beast, inevitably the odd camera might take a bit of time putting in an appearance.
