  • Great idea - it's your "driving directions" app that decides if you drive by these cameras, or not!

  • I had no idea MapQuest still existed. How have they survived the past 15 years?

  • This data all stored in OpenStreetMap via DeFlock and other apps. One thing that should be said is that anyone can plot a camera via these apps whether or not one is actually there or not. I know that OSM community has been dealing with a lot Flock related vandalism because of these apps.

  • This is how you start getting the users back. The Lake Ontario naming situation pushed me to using them. It has been working great in CarPlay. My wife loved the unicorn. I get to avoid (or hunt) Flock cameras. Everyone wins.

  • This shows the license plate readers i added last week on openstreetmap so we know where the data comes from. Nice render on their map - even shows camera direction

    i added generic LPR’s - and they show on mapquest, so be aware its not just flock on their map.

    To enable the view on mapquest, i could not figure it out on web, used ios app; layers / surveillance

    Ios app; https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mapquest-gps-navigation-maps/i...
