Default GPS points, start finish database list anywhere?

anyone know if someone has available a list of start finish line GPS points for US tracks? AIM hasa datbase in their smartymanager and gps manager, but i find most of the time, its off just a bit.

wondering if someone has maintained something more up to date and accurate.

The trackmate forum has some listed in it. I think trackapedia has some listed as well.

If it is an established track you can locate the start finish with google earth.

Have you found it to make a difference if the start finish line is slightly off to the white line on the track?

If you are at the track, you can take your Smarty camera to the start finish line and read the GPS coordinates. You can set that as the marker but I do not think it will remember that for your next visit to that track. What I would do is to edit the long and lat in your Smarty Cam and GPS databases and save the coordinates you find. I've also gone to Google earth and zoomed into start finish and used that.
