The idea is for the road users, car and motorcycles, to highlight danger points on a map of France. The two organizations are Association Prevention Routiere and Assureurs Prevention (insurers group), and the map is called MotoMap.<br><br>

Using Google Maps, you locate a danger zone you are familiar with, highlight it, tell the rest of the world what the problem is and save the point.<br><br>

You can specify the category of problem area; infrastructure, motorcycle specific, dangerous curves, etc........... <br><br>
