I feel you.

But as a computer geek whose hobby is copying data that doesn't want to be copied, I can tell you this is impossible. You can make it inconvenient to copy, that is all.

This is why I don't share my data online. Sad.

Yup.

Though Harold, I'm curious why you're concerned about piracy? You think somebody might want to make money off your hard work using this data?


exactly

I want to make money with my work
with the beginning of navigation apps etc, every waypoint has become a commodity
I record tracks for a living - so I know a little about it

You are asking for people to contribute waypoints to your business of selling repackaged waypoints. What are you going to pay us for contributing gate waypoints? :?: Are you paying contributors by Venmo?

If you contribute I'll pay you like Google would
$0.02 per 1,000 clicks

by the way, I have recorded about 500 gates so far
about 10 locations have been contributed by our Nomad community

and since we are a community I have shared hundreds of tracks and locations
money is not my motivation to document everything Baja
but I need to buy food sometimes

It's a shame, because if you follow that road on GE it looks like it crosses over to the Pacific side.

My GE doesn't show that much detail, wonder why.

you chose the the best image using the time slider
depending on vegetation, time of year, resolution, provider you get a spectrum of images
usually there is at least one good one

How can you tell a gate is locked from a GE image?
