Enforcer,

Just looking for validation to your site. I am in the process of a complete carPC overhaul and want to include your traffic cams. Thanks! I'm really excited because I'm a commuter in the NY/NJ area and we have some of the worst traffic in the country.

I just found a new Google Maps Mash up that will make getting the lat and lon of the traffic cams a LOT easier!

Just enter your city.state or your zipcode to get to your area. Clicking at any point on the map will show the Lat and Lon for that position.

You can check it out HERE

Interesting, but you need to know where the camera is.

But yes it might be easier than using google earth

Well of course you have to know where the camera is hehehe even using Google Earth. Many cities have a website that shows the location of the camera's like THIS ONE. Then its just a matter of clicking on that location in the other map that shows the lat and lon.

I wish I could combine the map link above with the one with the camera areas in google maps!

Well in most cases when a site uses google maps to display where there cameras are it isn't too difficult to harvest the GPS coords.

Take the one you linked to for example, if you view the source of the page there is a section where it adds icons to the map via the GPS coords, so I could use that to pull the coords.

Bump for update.

Not the full update I was hoping for.

Cameras by GPS location didn't make this one (mainly because, apart from the UK, I haven't got enough cameras with GPS coords.)

Also the tracking hasn't made it as I still need to finish off the website side.

however there are some fixes and new functions.
