If the Speed Camera Locations site looks a little different today, that's because it is. The Speed Camera Locations site which currently covers Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, has been converted from using Google Maps to Tomtom Maps.
Apart from the different look between Google Maps and Tomtom Maps, there's not really much difference. The following are changes which I feel should make using Speed Camera Locations easier.
One change I like is my old design used texttips if you hovered your mouse over a speed camera icon. That's OK if you're using a desktop computer, but since many people use mobile phones to access the site, hovering doesn't work on a mobile phone. The new design means if you press or click on a speed camera icon, a pop up appears providing more information and a link to a detail page. The detail page provides useful links for those investigating the speed camera site. This new approach is now mobile and desktop friendly.
The second change which came from a request for another site I created was the ability to enlarge the map. On Android phones and desktop computers it's easy to have a Google Map or Tomtom Map take up the full screen but clicking on the full screen icon. But on iPhone there's no such feature available. By enabling people to enable the map people can get more information no matter which device they choose to use.
Thank you to everyone who uses Speed Camera Locations. Should you experience any problems please let me know in the comments.
