Needs work to be more useful. The GPS route avoidance function is so clunky and delayed. The map doesn't rotate while in use so you can't tell which direction you need to turn. The delay in your location on the map will cause you to miss turns. The camera locations seem accurate but not having a reliable GPS map while in use is extremely frustrating.

There is a third option for the GPS mode which does rotate to your direction of travel. But yeah the navigation is not good. We've been recommending FlockHopper and DriversAgainstFlock, both developed by friends of deflock and use the same data but offer a much better experience. DeFlock is primarily for making submissions/edits to the map. Thanks!

Good to know app. But only putting 4/5 stars because the app only lists eight different camera options compared to the browser map, being the most common ones, and there's no 'Unknown' option, essentially forcing people to put 'Flock Safety' as a default, which would distort the actual number of known cameras out there. Needs an update for this. For anyone else, stay safe

The eight default options are for submissions; all LPRs are shown by default just like the web map. Generally we prefer not getting submissions with an unknown vendor, as we feel that would lead to even more mis-tags.

does NOT work. it SEEMS like I can chose two locations and see the route but it never allows me to chose a start and end location. it chooses them both at the same time and tells me its too close.

DOES work, although the UX is a little weird. After selecting "route to"/"route from" - you are immediately being asked for the second location. Either drag the map, search, or use the GPS pin to center on yourself. All that said - highly recommend you try FlockHopper or DriversAgainstFlock for navigation. This app is mainly just for making edits.

What’s new

- Fix FOV-only changes not registering as a change.
- Fix notifications to aid in removal of nonexistent cameras; still basic radius check.
- Track and notify on recent changeset comments, add a "new notifications" popup message.
