Awesome Idea. When I get my carputer up and running I'll have to check it out.

Cheers, added to list to harvest at some time.

When I originally made that post I had only read the beginning of the thread. At this point I have still only skimmed it, but it looks like people have been providing you wiht GPS coordinates and other information. Is there anything I can do to help?

I don't know how much work each camera is for you, but there are 53 cameras on that website.

well I have already put a lot of work in gathering most of the cameras currently in the US, UK, Sweden,Luxemborg and Australian Databases, the US and UK so far being the biggest. I have also got quite a few countries coming online in the next few days, plus some updated US ones. Now I will still harvest cameras from links provided, but if people could actually do the basic harvesting for me from their links, thenit will mean them getting into the database quicker, as I will be taking a break from harvesting soon to bring my skins up to date, plus I have some other programs which also need updating.

As for collection of data, the basics are the description/location of where the camera is and is url, usually ending in .jpg (this can be collected by rightclicking and then properties on the picture).

A bonus is if the GPS coords can be collected as well, for something which may be added if we can get enough of the cameras with GPS coords to make it worthwhile.

So what a few others have posted ie, place/location, url, lat and lon plus the main url is brilliant.

If everyone does it for their region then there is a lot of people doing a small chunk of work, instead of few doing a lot.

Unfortunately the webserver the files are stored on are down at the moment.

And it's on one I have no control over.

Shouldn't be too long hopefully.

Back up.
