John,

You said that the people that are going to be marking the Points of
Interest, be it historical buildings or even trees, would be using a GPS or
something equipped with a GPS device, possibly something like a smart phone
(eg iPhone).  Can you get them to make GPS traces of where they are going?
Even if it a short trace in the immediate vicinity of the items that they
are interested in would be helpful.  The result would be an immediate
increase in the number of GPS tracks, something that is almost impossible to
have too much of.  For some people that would be enough to do as long as the
traces can be uploaded by someone else.  The benefit of the additional
traces is that the quality of the map can be very quickly checked and
improved.
