MapQuest launches Surveillance Layer showing camera locations
MapQuest's new Surveillance Layer lets users see Flock cameras and similar camera solutions from other brands directly on its maps.
MapQuest has launched a Surveillance Layer feature that lets users see surveillance cameras on its maps, according to androidauthority.com. The layer reveals Flock cameras as well as similar camera solutions from other brands.
The feature adds a new mapping option for users who want to view camera locations alongside standard map data. It covers Flock cameras and comparable systems from other providers.
MapQuest previously resisted politically charged renaming efforts, a stance the company has taken before this launch.
The service was a leading navigation option around 20 years ago before Google Maps became dominant, and it later faded into the background like many other turn-of-the-century dot-coms.
