google maps is markable... at least, I've seen some web apps that work that way.
like, there was one to track registered sex offenders. Google has an API for placing markers on a map.
Of course, if you mapped every pothole the map would be entirely covered in markers

I think it is a good idea...maps along with a description and possible mile markers would help
Although reporting the pothole to a municipality and collecting on any damages seems like a bit of a stretch.

it might be a pain to collect still, but if you showed it was reported and ignored, you have a shot.
I think the main point would be to alert drivers and make sure the bad potholes get reported.

odd - come that way home every day - haven't seen a *single* flat-tire car or even a pothole!?
I wonder what lane NoahD's wife was traveling in - not the fast lane, apparently!! :-P

She's usually in the fast lane (and has ~30 track days under her belt!) but didn't see the pothole
She acknowledged that it could easily have been some debris (brick, concrete, muffler...) rather than a pothole. All she saw were the whole line of cars and figured it was worth a warning.

Still ...
for my disbelief, I'll probably nail it tomorrow.
And with my ground clearance, a nice big pothole won't just flatten a tire but destroy my engine.
