camera database

[NStockley]

I reported that to pocket GPS that Gatso 2635 had been removed on 8 March. I was acknowledged on the same day, and told that it would need to be verified, and if mine was the first submission I would receive the credit for this. I notice that this Gatso is not on the pocket GPS March 2006 speed camera database, so I presume therefore that it's removal has been verified. I have not been credited for this, so does this mean that my submission was not the first one you received? Either way I have not been notified.

Hi,

Sorry just spotted this.

From our FAQs:

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=189668#189668

We get 100s of submissions every month and it is not unusual for new cameras to be submitted by several different people.

You will receive a separate Free Lifetime Membership email if you have submitted a camera that is consequently verified by us and you were the first to submit it. If you don't receive a email, please check http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account every now and then to see if we have extended your subscription. If we haven't, then your submission wasn't successful.

Where the submission was both verified and first, we will, of course, always extend all memberships automatically whether or not there is email communication, for instance if your ISP blocked our email as commercial mail.

For general information it is worth noting that we get dozens of incorrect entries (middle of fields, North Sea etc.). These are not malicious, just genuine mistakes with submitters entering the wrong data. So whilst someone is absolutely certain that they've submitted a camera position, it isn't necessarily so that we have included their data.

We also sometimes, though rarely, have to wait longer than we would hope for some cameras to be verified. Overall, we're pleased to report that month on month the quality and volume is increasing, but, by the very nature of the beast, inevitably the odd camera might take a bit of time putting in an appearance.
