TrafficCamNZ Desktop version for Mac OS (AppStore) 4 May 2011

Great news!
There is a update to the Mac OS TrafficCamNZ application. It is currently being reviewed by Apple. The enhancements in this release include:
- Smoother updating of images on screen as they arrive – image positions are pre-determined
- Fixed an image retrieval cacheing issue – now the most recently available image will always be requested from the hosting server
- Fixed the horizontal page scrolling in the main window when clicking on the scrollbar, it now scrolls whole images
- Stability and performance improvements related to memory handling
Even greater news!
I have continued to work on the way images are retrieved from the internet and displayed on screen. Activity in progress for each image being retrieved is displayed within each image and the handling of image refreshes are much improved which should result in better performance. I’ve got some more work to do on this prior to submitting the update.

There os no GPS to Brazil?

I suspect you are asking if there are traffic cameras available in Brazil that can be used with TrafficCamNZ? I’m sorry I’m unable to definitively answer this. If you’re in Brazil and/or know of some local web sites that publish web cameras for public viewing then potentially TrafficCamNZ can display those images. TrafficCamNZ allows you to load the web references to those images yourself… there are no restrictions.
What do I mean? Lets say an image is available on the web…. here’s one… http://www.citylink.co.nz/sites/default/files/images/webcam/snapshots/aotea.jpg
Then you can add that as a camera into TrafficCamNZ. Give it a name “[WN] Aotea” (actually what ever you like). And check the box for it to be shown on the main screen.
Hope that helps.
If you have new cameras that you have added and would like me to include them in the main data file, click the button that e-mails me the camera details. If you have a web site that you can’t get the images out of…. let me know the web site… I _may_ be able to help.

I’m trying various cameras via that web site http://map.mainroads.wa.gov.au/trafficam/SelCamera.asp and so far they are all showing up with black images.
I’m performing this testing with Safari on my Mac under Lion 10.7.

OK, this one works.
http://map.mainroads.wa.gov.au/trafficam/ViewCamera.asp?CameraNo=00201&Time=1315207043985
This works too i.e. without the time reference http://map.mainroads.wa.gov.au/trafficam/ViewCamera.asp?CameraNo=00201
However the actual image (right click, copy image address) is the below… http://map.mainroads.wa.gov.au/trafficam/TrafficImages/C00201F.151501.JPG
The Image URL can be loaded into TrafficCamNZ _if_ it stays the same. I’m guessing here that with the file name on the end of the image being “151501.JPG” that it is a time reference. And if you use this, you’ll always get the same image presented.
