Yikes - nearly all of the Georgia GDOT cameras in massively wrong locations
-
All of a sudden... Sun December 22nd 2024, nearly all of the GDOT camera images are for massively wrong locations and some of the cameras that used to be here in town are gone. I submitted a couple of them after figuring out where they were supposed to be. I don't know what caused this mess but it looks like the camera pins are in locations where there would be a camera but the images are for locations that are on the other end of the state.
This does appear to be isolated to GDOT cameras as mine and another individual user's cameras are right where they're supposed to be and no issues. -
@winniw10 Hi, please contact webcams@windy.com.

@Suty I sent an email with my recommendations. Neither the 2 cameras that I reported nor my email appears to have been acknowledged. As people start looking for accurate information and local conditions for the approaching winter storm, they won't be able to find it with the Windy webcam layer in Georgia. They'll be looking at sunshine and palm trees when the roads are actually covered in ice or snow.

@winniw10 I am also still seeing this issue with the GDOT webcams. I sent an email to webcams@windy.com and hope for a quick resolution.

Lets be frank. The vast majority of the GDOT cameras are pointed down at roads. Is that the sort of imagery that is of value to Windy users? I would make the case that it isn't. And it's cluttering up the map with low quality irrelevant images that are intended for traffic conditions rather than weather conditions.
