Also fixes an issue displaying GPS coordinates on the map. Last image success / failure also updates for streaming images. ● Map display gets a big performance update - no more beachballs. Popovers display streaming images. ● Map display will now show Blue markers for Streaming cameras, and Orange markers for Static cameras ● Completed a review of screen layout procedures ensuring cameras are being laid out according to the sorted sequence ● Fixed an issue on launch where sometimes although the camera was correctly positioned the image would not be for that camera. This is a classic collectionView issue. Now fixed. ● Camera update/load process enhanced to delete cameras, when instructed to do so. Cameras that have been user added or user modified will not be deleted. This means that when the hosted master list update is made available for download and then processed it is possible that cameras will be deleted.

If you have upgraded to iOS 8 and had trouble Syncing changes between devices, make sure that you are using the same iCloud account across devices, that iCloud drive is ON - and that iCloud storage is enabled in the applications on both the Mac and iOS devices. If trouble persists - you may need to delete the application on your iOS devices and reinstall. ● Created Duplicate deleter for CalTrans cameras - see utilities menu

● Fixes an error when importing data from infoconnect With iCloud enabled your TrafficCamNZ database is syncronised between your devices using the same iCloud account. Allow time for syncronisation to occur. When completed on an iPhone or iPad the Refresh button will turn red. On the Mac version the menu bar will change its title to indicate that syncronisation has completed - and on the Mac you will need to save the database to syncronise data to other devices. Cool tip: Select your cameras to display using TrafficCamNZ on the Mac and save. When syncronised to an iPhone or iPad you can use the Chooser screen to re-order the images. Exit TrafficCamNZ on the iPhone/iPad and after the database has syncronised across iCloud the display order on the Mac is changed. ● TrafficCamNZ for Mac and iOS have a similar feature set. The goal was to allow monitoring of image snapshots from any camera on the internet and allow users to add/change/delete their own cameras rather than restrict the application to a specific list of cameras. The images displayed must come from a fixed address, that is the image file names cannot change - this can restrict TrafficCamNZ from displaying some images. ● TrafficCamNZ is not intended to be complex to use. The Main data file contains approximately 9000 cameras - these can be added/removed by the providers at any moment - the only "default" cameras shown by TrafficCamNZ are those that have been "scraped" off the internet. ● If you have an XML formatted list of images you think would be useful to TrafficCamNZ users please contact dgwilson@paradise.net.nz to arrange for the data to be made available in the main data feed. I look forward to hearing from you.

This version includes CoreData and iCloud support for the TrafficCamNZ database. Changes to the TrafficCamNZ camera database are syncronised across all of your devices that have TrafficCamNZ installed and are using the same iCloud account. You don't have to use iCloud - there is a preference option to keep the TrafficCamNZ database local to the device you are using. To support the change to CoreData for the camera database there were many changes to TrafficCamNZ both visually and internally. Here is a short highlight list of those changes. ● New Main window - faster - more control over the layout, horizontal or vertical scrolling, with 1, 4, 9, or 16 images shown on screen at one time - and more if you choose the zero option - it will fit as many as possible ● New camera list window - double click a camera to bring up the edit screen ● New edit window ● Camera import function now displays log on screen ● Map pins can be clicked on to show a pop over of the camera and image. The window can be detached and moved away and resized manually ● Pinch and zoom is enabled on the main window for zoom in and zoom out - double tap away from the images to return to normal size ● Improved memory management - code conversion to ARC ● 64bit support With iCloud enabled your TrafficCamNZ database is syncronised between your devices using the same iCloud account. Allow time for syncronisation to occur. When completed on an iPhone or iPad the Refresh button will turn red.
