Submit New Camera's

Hi, I am new to the TomTom and recently started using the TT 930T

Question is I do alot of driving and spotted 2 camera's on a 50Mph stretch of roadworks, which didn't show up on my TT (I do have the latest camera's installed)
I pressed the correct button on my TT and told the system it was a fixed camera on my side of the road, but now my TT has this is there a way I can extract this info to upload to this site, or is it a manual process of finding the coordinates, and if so which is the best way of doing this please.

Many thanks

Steve

Sorry I should have explained better, I have set TT up so a short cut button on screen takes me to the report camera menu on TT, so yes it is the report a camera feature.

I don't know how TT stores the data on the Device, or if it's possible to extract the info, as the TT cameras don't display in Browse Map.

Sorry. Sad

It's too late to help on this occasion, but you could change the shortcut button to "Add favourite" which would leave a star on the map where you hit the button. I think you have to put some extra info in but just a few random letters (or the speed limit etc) would be enough to mark the place.

You could then browse the map later to get the co-ordinates to add cameras to the database from this site.

Thanks Gerry, BTW how do you guys normally get the information to upload to the camera database?

Cheers

I submit cameras, singly, on the Submissions Page.

The Link is at the Top Left of every Web Page on the site.

I think that GNR means how do we capture the location, rather than how do we submit a camera.
I use a program called GPS Dash, which has a 'one touch' co-ordinate logging facility. You can add details, but don't have to, just remember what was there. But as there aren't many cameras in my neck of the woods, I don't have too much trouble remembering. Very Happy

PS GNR the word cameras is a plural of camera and does not need an apostrophe before the 's'. Very Happy

I've got a thing about incorrect use of them, but am prepared to stfu about it

Thanks very much for the replies, yes I was more interested in how we capture this information, as it is not always possible to start entering information whilst driving, a speedy solution would be more practical.

In response to the statement below,

My apologies. It was meant light hearted but obviously didn't come across as such. Not even when I re-read it.
Apologies again. Now I'll stfu
