Systems and methods to provide accurate and timely maps to autonomous vehicles. The system can utilize local map data from a plurality of electronic devices via a data gathering application (“app”). The system can compare local map data to existing global maps to identify differences and update the global maps and/or indicate that the global maps need to be updated. The system can receive camera, GPS, cellular location services, accelerometer, magnetometer, and other sensor data from the plurality of electronic devices. The system can provide incentives to users to drive on routes or proximate areas-of-interest. This can include routes or areas-of-interest that are frequently used by the autonomous vehicles in the system. This can also include routes that include accidents, construction sites, and other differences that can receive more frequent updates. The app can include a user interface (UI) to enable users to provide updates related to certain conditions.
