It would also help if there was an app that could be run as an overlay perhaps to Google Maps. It would allow you to navigate, so you are able to drive, to these benchmarks. It would collect their approximate location and would assist in the upload of the data.
I'm responding to my own comment. It turns out that there is an app called Benchmark Explorer which does a fairly good job. There are some drawbacks, it does not have satellite photography overlay, and it was made using the TomTom map overlay so it was a few metres inaccurate. Also, the roads are basically cartoon roads. Roads that I know are five Lanes wide are portrayed as two roads. I would much prefer the day to put as a overlay to Google Maps.
This video was incredibly helpful, thank you so much.
I just acquired a ZED-F9P survey grade GPS unit and I would like to contribute. Is data still being collected and should I work on this?

Problem: to contribute data, you need to be able to generate GVX files. I just got a ZED-F9P, and don't know any way to make GVX.
