Infrastructure Location
We work with municipalities and other jurisdictions to geolocate
different kinds of infrastructure, like bridges, bike racks, signs
etc. We want to create an app for a tablet or a smart phone you would
be able to use to identify where on the map those infrastructure
pieces are located. We use this kind of data in our projects and would
find it extremely useful and the tools we're using now are really
expensive and not very accurate.
There are geolocation applications that can tell you what street
you're on but that's it - no other layers. We'd like to develop a
crowdsourcing app where people will be able to put information about
the roadway into the Google map. The reason we want to do this is that
we want to build a comprehensive map of bike facilities like bike
lanes and racks.

I am doing a app that will allow for this functionality. Basically a
crowdsourcing geotagging app that allows for routing. See

I clicked on the 'Somthing is broken' button and it threw me an error.
Is this some sort of 311 application?

Currently it will insert into the database but there is no view yet.

Will you eventually be able to write in what the broken thing is? I
got the error message too.

We have considerable experience in map based applications that geotag data for display in maps that integrate with various map systems like Google, Yahoo, etc. Please feel free to contact me directly at spo...@pottertech.com to discuss make an app for the iPhone and iPad that will meet your needs. We can support not only the develop and distribution of the app, but also the needed back-end database to support the multiple users on a high availability basis.
