Should the forum be continued?
The forum has been active since July 2012. Considering its primary purpose was to assist its members with the use of GPS devices. As technology progressed, most portable navigation devices are now cell phone based. This has led to true GPS units becoming defunct and the need to provide updated Road Hazard Data obsolete.

Re: Should the forum be continued?
I dont think that the RHD is obselete, I still use it on Toll fees and ASOD, I still keep mine up to date, I think the problem is there is no one keeping it up to date I use to send a lot of RHD to Jan but due to his illness that time I presume it was hard for him to update it, I would like to carry on with it but my computer skilis are iimited.

Re: Should the forum be continued?
Robert, I hear what you say. But sadly, I begged people to get active with reporting data.
You and Phillip were, among one or two others occasionally, the only forumites that contributed to the RHD.
Updating the data monthly with one or maybe two changes or most of the time even none,
became frustrating for me and I handed it over to Jan.
I am willing to do the updates again, but then the contributions must improve a lot
from ALL members that are using the RHD.
But let's give the poll another month to run, and then we will see how many members took part.
By then, Darryl must make the final decision as to keep open or close.
It is costing him a lot of money monthly, and nobody can expect him to continue paying for a mere 5 active members.

Re: Should the forum be continued?
Hi all, as Frans stated, we need everybody to make contributions with regards to thé Rhd.and general information topics.With that said, I wonder how many forumites are still active on this platform??
For info, as of the 1st of March 2026 toll gate fees will increase country wide, so the Toll Data and Sound Files needs updating as well. For info, Google maps removed all fixed cameras from their data base for South Africa. When planning a route on your smartphone in the past, ie. from Jhb to Durban, all fixed cameras were shown but now none.
Regards

Re: Should the forum be continued?
Hallo Robert. Met verwysing na kameras wat verwyder word, moet ons versigtig wees. Munisipaliteite rig kameras op vir n rede. Ek het gaan kyk na van die kamera posisies, nie almal nie, maar Google Maps het meer as n jaar gelede op sommige van die roetes opdatering gedoen, en waar aan paaie gewerk word, verwyder munisipaliteite die kameras. Niks verhoed hulle om die kameras na padwerke weer op te stel nie. Dit gese, word daar maandeliks landwyd nuwe kameras aangebring, kyk maar na die Waze applikasie. As van die forum lede nie daardie paaie ry en terugvoering gee nie sit ons met ñ probleem.
Dankie in alle geval vir jou bydra
Groete

Re: Should the forum be continued?
Hello Phillip, Robert en Darryl.
Ongelukkig moet cams afgehaal word van die databasis waar ons weet dit is verwyder, anders sit ons met data wat nie reg weerspieel wat daar buite is nie.
Soos Robert sê, kan daai cams later/gereeld nagegaan word om te sien of dit weer indiens gestel is.
Forum sal my moet kans gee om al my GPS software weer op my Pc te installeer.
