Automapic.com update

In the last couple of days the site has had problems adding or deleting markers and other lockups, like when I upload GPS data. I will work on this tonight (promise), but only after some Texas BBQ food...

*update* I am homing in on the problem. Hopefully fixed later today.

In car cam update

I bought a new Compact Flash reader today, and I now have access to all the in car video I have taken. Hooray! Hurroo also though. It turns out the card hasn't been able to keep up with the data being sent to it, and all the clips have occasional blips in them as the data stream gets reset.

According to the ChaseCam forum I can:
  1. Use a lower quality video setting.. or a lower screen resolution on the PDR.
  2. Use a faster Compact Flash Card...or a smaller Compact Flash Card.
  3. Make sure your card is freshly formatted before use.
Seeing as the card came in a ChaseCam pack, I would expect to be able to use it so I don't think 2) should apply. I will try formatting but I have a hunch that I need to reduce to quality to get rid of the errors.
