Thanks, Albertville fixed and Courchevel added.
Great feature!
Not disposing of a SmartPhone I tried to set up Telegram on my Debian Linux but it seems I am not clever or patient enough.
Thus unable to check what’s already there, some tips for what they’re worth:
EBZH: http://www.ebzh.be/holding09.html and http://www.ebzh.be/holding27.html
EBZW: http://www.ebzw.be/webcam.html
EBBY: http://www.ulm.be/nl/webcam
EBGB: http://www.rvg.be/webcam.htm
@Jan: all mentioned airfields besides EBBY are included, the latter is due to EBBY not being its official ICAO identifier and we are currently limited to airfields having an ICAO identifier.
Telegram does not require a smartphone to use but it requires a telephone number (can be landline) to verify the account.
That is bizarre, Achim, EBBY is in the AIP with the EBBY code. Must have something to do with its being an UL-field, I suppose? If so, the same would apply to EBBZ, EBNE, and a handful more.
As for the Telegram install: it would by no means accept my fixed (“landline”) number, and when I began trying my mobile numebr it gave up with “too many retries”. It is not that essential to me, as yet, don’t worry.
Many thanks for your excellent work on the autorouter! One day I’ll get myself to summarising what use it can be for a VFR-only pilot like me – even if I understand and respect that it is not intended for VFR pilots, and it will not be possible to file a flight plan (as yet ) there are some features too nice to be left unused.
You’re right, EBBY is listed in the Belgian AIP. I have asked Eurocontrol to add it to their database and I have also added it to the webcam database.
Thanks Achim,

Well, these UL-fields are not that relevant for the autorouter in its present state: none of them offer any IFR procedures, and only the fewest IFR-equipped planes could land on these generally shortish runways.
Webcams are very useful for a “metar” in a region where there are few metars – for example just about all of the interior of the Alps.
For getting into e.g. Zell am See LOWZ you have to descend about 10000ft into a canyon, and you would need solid brass balls to do that in IMC
