UK motorway camera database

**tekta** · 05-12-2004, 06:19 PM

I've been putting links to various traffic cameras onto Autoroute, starting with some motorways in the south. M4, M5, M27 around Bristol, S Wales, Reading, Southampton and Exeter.

Now added M8, M80, M74, M7, M9 and M90 around Glasgow and Edinburgh.

I'm working in Autoroute 2001 at the moment and can't export the pushpins. If anyone can extract the data to other packages let me know.

I will be adding cams in Scotland, and then try and move on to some A roads and London.
Most of the links are pop-ups (about 3k), some are web pages, so fairly easy on your data.

Let me know if you find any problems
Cheers

Wrong cameras, these are webcams

I've looked at the pocketgps site before but can't find a way to export the data, anyone else got any ideas?

what you want to export (import?) it to

sorry tekta, thought you meant the speed ones. Why are you interested in the webcams?

I use infomap navigator (good spoken directions), the pro version of which allows you to add locations from a database (excel, comma delimited etc)

The current version does not have a POI alarm function but I am told by them that the next version may have..

Enforcer, the idea is you can check traffic at different junctions etc. before you leave or in the car through your mobile. Most of these webcams update every 5 mins or so making them a bit more up to date than some of the traffic info.

OK, that kinda makes sense.

I've got some ideas on how this could be used with other packages to work while you're driving, but for now I'm just finding as many cams as I can.

I think when the highspeed mobile internet prices come down and more of us can have always on internet connection in the car then it could be a great addition.
