Discern between camera & fixed camera

Post by Kuhlkatz
Orit,

As mentioned in PM before, is it possible to split the text for the camera report menu and the camera dialog?
If the dialog heading initially indicates 'Fixed Cameras' it would likely discourage casual Wazers from reporting every speed trap they see as a fixed camera.

I don't think any camera, fake or real, showing on the map, prevents users from adding them. I get clusters of new cameras all around intersections which already have them established.

That's the reason for the request. If text like minor accident, police (hidden) and police (visible) can fit into the dialog, then 'Fixed Camera' should also not present a problem.

It's not required to change all the wording, just the initial heading.
The fine print already states that it is for reporting Fixed Cameras already, but nobody in his / her right mind will read that part while racing down a Freeway, so most users never see that.

If the initial heading indicates fixed camera, most users will immediately see that, and that might actually stimulate them to use a bit more brainpower to figure out it's not for reporting speed traps.

Fakes are typically mounted in the same cases as the 'Speed' and 'Red Light' cameras. The only difference is that the other 2 actually have working components inside.

It's just for the show and to deter speeding, like putting 'Beware of the Dogs' signs on your gates when all you have is 2 miniature dobermans...

The popups to confirm if a camera is there are complete nonsense. The cameras are there and nobody is going to remove them in the foreseeable future, why we should get those pop-ups? it is like a pop-up to ask if the road is still there. I am OK with the other pop ups, policemen move, traffic situation changes , but confirmation for a red light camera?!? once installed these things stay....

Another thing is , if possible please include the locations of the red lights in your system, every time I stop at a red light the thing is asking me if I am in traffic. If the system knows there is a traffic light there, may be it can connect the dots itself...
