RE: Crowdsourced venue database

No problem, I can work to resolve some problems with this data. Can you please also send some comments how to verify venue? Because I can't find in menu such option or button.

This comes from a search of OpenStreetMap for anything tagged with Athletics.  Tagging is done by random people and this is why they are "unverified" initially.  Our plan was that anyone on the planet can
look for things near them and quickly complete the map.    We do not
always have contact with willing federation statisticians like you!

With UK it seems to be about 75% right, but we correlated it with the list of tracks that were certified by inspectors, so we verified 500 of them easily.

If you like we can delete them all and you can create them starting from nothing.
Or, if you have a spreadsheet with addresses of the key tracks that matter, we can use that as a starting point.
