POIs in general are hard to maintain. Even Big G is struggling with that on their maps.
Theme-specific POIs are probably slightly better, when there are interested parties who are keen to maintain them, or keep them up-to-date.
If you don't like to map them directly yourself, when you're on site, then you're next bet is to use fresh (and compatible) ground imagery, to map them when you can.

I have ADHD. If I can't do it right away when I notice the problem, I'm unlikely to remember. So what I need is an Android app that makes it quick and easy to submit an update (with appropriate license) whenever I notice a discrepancy.
