MapQuest will now show you where Flock cameras are in your neighborhood

You can see the locations of known outdoor surveillance cameras in the app.

你可以在应用中查看已知户外监控摄像头的位置。

MapQuest has been on quite the unexpected tear over the last couple of months. The mapping service’s app surged in popularity after it refused to refer to Lake Ontario as Lake America (unlike Google Maps and Apple Maps). MapQuest also added useful, long-overdue features like Android Auto support and public transit directions.

在过去的几个月里，MapQuest 经历了一段意想不到的爆发期。在拒绝将安大略湖（Lake Ontario）称为“美国湖”（Lake America）（与谷歌地图和苹果地图不同）之后，该地图服务应用的人气激增。MapQuest 还增加了诸如 Android Auto 支持和公共交通导航等实用且姗姗来迟的功能。

The app now has another handy tool. You can toggle a layer that shows known outdoor surveillance cameras and license plate readers.

该应用现在又多了一个实用的工具。你可以切换一个图层，显示已知的户外监控摄像头和车牌识别器。

The layer will show you where Flock cameras are. It also displays the locations of cameras from the likes of Motorola Solutions (Vigilant), Genetec, Axis Communications, Axon, Leonardo (ELSAG), Neology, Rekor, PlateSmart, Ubicquia and Verkada. The layer sits alongside options to view traffic and incidents, so it should be easy to find in the app.

该图层会向你展示 Flock 摄像头的位置。它还显示了来自摩托罗拉系统（Vigilant）、Genetec、Axis Communications、Axon、Leonardo (ELSAG)、Neology、Rekor、PlateSmart、Ubicquia 和 Verkada 等公司的摄像头位置。该图层与查看交通和事故的选项并列，因此在应用中应该很容易找到。

MapQuest announced the update with a short video that’s set to Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me.” Chef’s kiss, no notes.

MapQuest 发布了一段配有 Rockwell 的歌曲《Somebody’s Watching Me》的短视频来宣布此次更新。堪称完美，无可挑剔。

You might not be able to easily avoid these cameras on your commute or other usual routes, but the layer may be helpful in illustrating how pervasive these things are in your area. It’s useful information to have for those who are trying to rid their neighborhoods of surveillance cams.

你可能无法在通勤或其他常规路线上轻易避开这些摄像头，但该图层有助于说明这些设备在你的区域内有多么普及。对于那些试图清除社区监控摄像头的人来说，这是一条有用的信息。
