|
Todays release of the UK database, the Mobile:20967@30, is located at 42.12917, -80.08528. This puts the camera at ERIE in Pennsylvania USA.
Hardly likely to be detected in the UK, I would think it was supposed to be in Ireland.

5,000 feet maybe but.... 5,000 miles, unless this is one of the Pocketgpsworld's deliberate errors to detect pirated/illegal copies of their database.

It's easy enough to add locations to the database. I added a Mobile camera that wasn't in the previous database release as it was on a road I use on a regular basis, and whilst I know that the camera is often there, it's nice to have the reminder from the SatNav. |

| I did see that but i didn't know PGPSW collected US cameras too. I assume it's a mis-feed from another database? |

That would mean that it is somewhere near Lutz's house... near where he lives... in Texas... I'm sorry I can't think of any other way to say it  | lbendlin wrote: | | I bet this one is somewhere near to my house. |
Actually Lutz has said it all

Yeah i read that and understood it but my point is if the cameras in the database are all verified how did one in the US get into a UK database?
As i also said i have never seen a US Speed Camera database here - EURope and AUStralia - yes, but not US.
Is there a US database? |

no i think lutz was playing about testing something or other and accidentily placed the camera in live database as he wanted to test something and maybe forgot to remove it.
thats a what im guessing happened
