Put a country on the map.
Only the United States and the United Kingdom are on the map so far, and the reason is money rather than effort. Every track has to be found, turned into a street address, matched against the school, park or stadium it sits on, and read off aerial imagery when nothing nearby fits. Those are paid API calls, billed per request.
If you want to see another country on the site, you can help cover that cost. We take no cut. A country's goal is the API bill to the cent, and every country below shows exactly what it needs and how much has been raised so far. Once a country is funded it is built, and then it is free for everyone, permanently.
Track counts are estimated from OpenStreetMap, so each one is close rather than exact and the real total can come out slightly either side of it. The goal is worked out from that estimate.

We take no cut
A country's goal is the API bill, to the cent, and nothing on top of it. Four services do the work and each is charged by the request, so the goal is arithmetic you can check rather than a number we assert. Hosting and upkeep are funded separately, not taken from here.
