Nice!

Keep in mind that some stuff (such as 7 wonders of the world) and other somewhat stationary data is better added in OpenStreetMap - but for the other cases, you're tool could be a good solution. I'm looking forward to updates to it!

Cool!

Perhaps you could also support real-time sensor data? Services as Luftdaten.info would love to have these visualizations.

Maps is not free - as you mentioned, you pay with data.

However, there are FOSS and privacy respecting alternatives, most are based upon OpenStreetMap - wikipedia style map of the world. Some data is still lacking, but at least you yourself can fix it if you want to.
