Missing Lukla in Nepal. Where is the claim to be every live camera coming from? This looks like dozens, not a lot more than that.

You're asking Claude so expect a Claudish answer.

Lowercasing the text and removing a few periods does not obfuscate the fact that it is Claudespeak.

And that is why most of OP's comments are being auto-flagged by HN's slop detector, which you can see if you turn on showdead.

I have something similar at https://livelane.qubic-ventures.com. Started as a simple weekend project, but it’s becoming quite the headache. All sources are mainly from official government sites, which means many are very unreliable.

Some have public APIs, others require registration where it takes months to hear back.

I currently have about 30 ingestion scripts that more often than not break down.

I then also have an iOS app, but that ships with a bundled sqlite database.

I like the idea. As others have noted, some of the map placements are wrong. For example, the Glendale Ohio cam is placed in Glendale Arizona. Easy to patch up, and a fun idea. Good job!

A comprehensive site like this would be great. This cam is plotted in Chicago which is incorrect: https://liveworld.info/cam/deshler-ohio-usa-live-train-camer...

Some pins also seem stacked exactly on top of one another, making them inaccessible (e.g. Chicago).

I've also got a list of 160 live YouTube cam streams with coordinates if you want me to send them somewhere.

deshler-ohio-usa fix pushing tonight (its going into the regression fixtures alongside the ones CommieBobDole flagged). stacked-pin dedupe is a real known gap, adding a spiral offset when markers overlap at the same coords. YES please send the 160 cams. email works, hari at sapporosoft dot com, or paste a github gist here and ill ingest tonight. that gets us over 800 in one shot, huge thanks

23 live streams at null island [0] :)

cool idea, I like the round globe too, now with 3D rendering in the browser being trivial on modern devices, there’s no excuse for choosing compromising 2D projections of the globe.
