Hi, new to the POIs (but not to the Camera databse  )
Could the Camera submission page be expanded / used to submit corrections to the POI database as well? |

It is better to use the submission form for updates as the reason for a Removal request, Change etc can be given in the comments.
I do not want to receive one of our released OV2 files sent back with one or two additions as it places an extra workload on the reviewer. If you as a submitter spend a little time transferring information to the submission form then it helps to spread the workload.
New files can be in either OV2 or CSV format whichever you have to hand.

It is much better to keep the two submission forms separate. For one thing it should help to reduce the number of incorrectly formatted submissions. If you take a careful look at the POI database submission form you will see that it is much more complicated that the Safety Camera one.

Sorry, I hadn't twigged that you had not found the POI database submission form.
Send all beers to Lutz for designing and creating the form  I already owe him quite a few ;)
