I am working on a website where users record data from certain locations and they input an address to tag that location with a GPS coordinate. Pretty frequently those locations are tagged more than a mile away from the actual location and I am trying to implement a few ways to validate the data.

Right now I am thinkiing of:

  • having a tag of location pages for other users to say "incorrect location" so I can go one by one and fix it
  • letting users with a decent amount of experience (reputation) edit the location GPS coordinates
  • making the location be validated by a mod before it goes live and they make sure it is a good location

Are these reasonable? I know the first will take a lot of my time and I would love some suggestions.

I'd add a button or link that says something along the lines of Incorrect location or suggest a change etc. I wouldn't let users make the edits without some sort of moderation. – Anagio Nov 19 '12 at 18:08
