Member submission

As some of the team will know, I have been submitting cameras to the database for a few years now, and am therefore a verified submitter, and proud of it. I submitted 4 new Truvelo cameras in one location last weekend and I have just looked at the map and only one has appeared. (They are near where my daughter lives.)

In order for to keep the database at the forefront, obviously these locations need adding asap.

Can a mod tell me when the other 3 will be added?

They are still awaiting further submissions or a verifiers visit. Chances are they will be in by next weeks database.

Remember the basics - cameras are added only after they have been verified. Verification is either (mostly) by one of the Verification Team, or, if enough independent submissions all place the same camera details on the same spot.

You haven't given any location details (nor the ID of the one you say has been added), so only Admin Team members can look at your submissions. If you tell us the Long/Lat where they are, we (Verifiers and Moderators) can see more on the map than you can and we can look at what's there.

In case you haven't already read it, the link in my signature tells a bit about the verification process.

The one that has been added, is thus:

TRUVELO:75559@30, Heading:337, Single Direction -

What I find bizarre Dennis, is that all 4 cameras were erected together, yet only 1 has been verified and added to the database.

the one that has been added to the database was verified by multiple submissions.

what I find bizarre is that the person who submitted the 'final' submission for the camera only submitted that one and not the others if there are 4 there!

MaFt knows better than I, but I'd bet a stick of Rothwell rhubarb that yours was verified by the second method I mention above - other people submitting the same details. (The other three were probably not so accurately double reported, maybe?) He also adds he expects they'll probably be included in next week's database download - confession - I still haven't downloaded yesterday's new listings of cameras to be verified and your submission was more recent than the listing last week, pretty good going, a matter of two or three days and none of the Verifiers even had the chance to go verify it before it got into the database!

It's thanks to you and all the others that we get this sort of performance.

EDIT That's the third b*********** time in less than a quarter of an hour that MaFt has beaten me to answer a question. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!! 'Course, he does it by not using the shift key. Evil or Very Mad

I do more than that in reverse as a Class 1 driver!!!!! (About 100k business miles pa.)
