This is really great! I just gave it a go on a drive I make most weekends.

Some suggestions, but please know this is already excellent. I’m just giving these in case you like to tweak things.

Have larger areas of the map load instead of needing to move the map, then hit the button to load cameras for that area. It’s a bit cumbersome, but might be unavoidable? I needed to know where the cameras were in order load them on the map. Not the best for people who don’t know an area well.

Oregon would be helpful too as others have said. We have a lot of crossover on the border. Washington is better though.

Perhaps have pre selected major routes that someone can tap and get multiple cameras. Just a nice to have for quickly getting info for major routes.

One of the best feature is me being able to build my own routes! That is super helpful for those of us in rural areas. So really nicely done! Please don’t take offense to these suggestions, just food for thought on an already excellent app.

Wow thank you for the great feedback! I have a 6mo old son that’s taking most of my time right now but if I get a little time I’ll do my best to implement some of your suggestions. Thank you!

It’s very well put together already. You could keep it the way it is and have it be a really useful tool for many people. It shows you put a lot of care and thought into it.

u/skifever, I'm looking to add some projects to my UX research portfolio. If you want me to conduct some usability tests, please PM me and I can gather the feedback for you. That way you don't have to sort through suggestions yourself. I'm happy to do this before you start Android development! :)

But looking at this, u/wsdot, you really should think about hiring this person.
