I had a few customers for custom trip planning for vanlife in Japan. It does not pay the bills yet and the biggest pain point is to send people in an adventure sleeping in remote spots. I refused 50% of customer so far (based on early conversation) because I wasn't too confortable sending young and noisy people in the spots I usually go to enjoy myself knowing that there are local people (often volunteering) to clean the public spaces..
I also added a section for people to post their second hand vehicles, more articles and a "plus" plan to access previously created custom plans..
Little by little doing some progress in this niche..
This is a fun side project as I learn great with email communication, culture differences (as a dev)
For the maps feature I'll be happy to discuss with you using https://dokomaps.com we're making a platform for anyone to create communities of place sharing!
The result is https://dokomaps.com
What is nice compared to other similar services is that on DokoMaps you can also browse created by other travelers to inspire your next travel.
If you're interested you can create your own map and let me know if you have any feedback!
https://dokomaps.com is a more human and user friendly alternative were locals create their own map, add comment and categories and share them.
Development goes really fast forMVP (for eg https://dokomaps.com)

I guess you could still have attack from authorized nodes in your own organization?
