An app for iPhone and Android phones is being used in 20 US states to send locations of potholes to the relevant authorities, writes Brian Byrne.
The app sends a driver's phone's GPS coordinates to the local authority when he or she comes across a pothole and activates it.
The information goes into a database when a confirming email, automatically generated by the app, is sent.
Downside: the app can't guarantee that anything will be done about the pothole.
