Mobile phones let geolocate pictures. Why not simply send a geolocated
pictures? This would document the graffiti at the same time.

Thanks for sharing the idea of reporting problems like graffiti using
coordinates. For some reason this idea never crossed my mind until I read your
email. This would have been useful for me on one occasion in particular when I
was trying to describe the location of graffiti in a public park. I can think
of other types of situations where coordinates would be more useful than saying
something like "200 feet north of the iron statue and on the west side of the
gatehouse, above a path that goes to the creek".

It sounds an odd combination but locally you can report Graffiti to the
municipality and they arrange for it to be cleaned up by the phone company,
electric company etc.
The targeted electric boxes are often at the back of houses or on stretches of
highway that have no houses which means describing exactly where they are
becomes problematical. 200 meters south of the X Y junction on the north side
of the highway.
When reporting I use JOSM to pick up the street name from OSM then cut and
paste it into the Web form. I invariably make mistakes when trying to type in
names such as Bottriell Way.
So to make this work the municipality and the phone company etc. have to be
able to recognise the OLC codes. I probably need to add the boxes as a node
into OSM initially just those that have Graffiti, some particular ones are more
frequently covered than others.
They may have to be transcribed, so do OLC codes incorporate a check digit?
Anyone have any experience with working with municipalities and phone companies
etc in this way? Yes Lat and Long would work but might be confusing to people
who have to work with them, again check digits would avoid transcription errors.
I also need something to generate an OLC code when using JOSM. I could use
OSMand but its difficult to cut and paste from one device to another.
Inspiration anyone?
