Abstract
A mobile device initiates communication with a server through a location based service and sends a user generated submission and a geolocation to the server. The server identifies an incomplete entry in a geographic database based on the geolocation and generates a probe question for the incomplete entry. The probe question requests that a user visually inspect or photograph an object or area near the geolocation. The server analyzes the information provided by the user in order to update the geographic database.
