Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for recovering inaccurate or missing base map data for an area while providing riders with incentive to refrain from selecting an alternate transportation service while experiencing increased wait times. A service receives a request for a driver and locates a driver to provide the service. The service determines whether the wait time for the rider exceeds a threshold wait time established by the service. If the service determines that the wait time exceeds the threshold wait time, the service identifies an object within a threshold vicinity of the rider known to have inaccurate or missing base map data. The service transmits a prompt for the rider to capture an image of the object. The service receives a rendering of the captured images from the client device, and activates a function via the client device if the images accurately capture the identified objects included in the prompt.
