Thread: Traffic Cams International v1.3.0 (1.4 Beta available)

Enforcer, How do you pull coordinates for traffic cams? There are a couple of cams I wanted to ask if you could add (Detroit), Theirs a website but it has know coordinates for them.

It is very rare for the site to publish the coords.

I'm afraid it is a pretty laborious job of using Google Earth and local knowledge to work out what the coords are by the description (ie road names) and then sometimes comparing the image to what Google Earth shows you.

Hmmm, ok thanks. Well done on Traffic Cams btw.

F^&£ing Trafficland cameras, testing this last night with your nmea.log, pulled up the nearest cameras, all good, then cameras 2 and 6 were the same, then they were different then they were the same but different from the first time they were the same and so it kept doing this all night always the same two cameras. I kept looking at my code, changing this tweaking that, putting debug code in here there and everywhere. couldn't see where it was going wrong.

Then I pulled the url's for the cameras out put them in two seperate browsers and guess what, the cameras change when refreshed to the other and they just randomlt swap between each other, sometimes the same sometime differently.


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!



Now I have got to go and rebuild all my code again. and Breathe.



OH, if someone else can get me some nmea logs. (JOHNWPB)

trafficland sucks. I think they switch the URLs of the cams deliberately.

They don't normally switch the main part of the URl, just the bit at the end, a few sites do that.
