Which brings us to another point. We have nearly 4 years to map all the Olympic venues. The basis of what we have achieved in the last 4 years its almost certain we will have them all covered, but it might be a good idea to start a wiki page that lists them all so that locals can focus on what the map needs to show for the Olympic visitors. We have a real opportunity to be a streak ahead of the pack here.
