How to reach Locate Flock

A camera pin that is wrong or missing

Say where the camera is (an address, a crossing or coordinates) and what is wrong. The fastest fix is to correct it in OpenStreetMap yourself, as described below.

A mistake on a page or in a guide

Give the address of the page and say what it should say instead. A source helps.

Using the data or downloads

Questions about the files, the method behind a figure, or how to credit the data.

Press or research

Tell us what you are working on and when you need an answer.

Something else

Anything that does not fit the topics above.

The pins are OpenStreetMap’s, not ours, so the best fix is made there. Open the camera on the map, follow the link to its OpenStreetMap entry, and correct it, or delete it if the camera is gone. Your edit shows up here after the next refresh of the data, which runs once a week. The steps are set out under corrections.

If you would rather not edit the map, pick the topic about a wrong or missing pin in the form, and tell us what you saw and where.

The form passes your message on as an email and keeps no copy. The privacy page explains what happens to a message you send.

We do not run any cameras and we hold no plate records or footage, so we cannot look anything up or have a camera taken down. Questions about a particular camera go to whoever runs it.
