Planning outings with friends often involves sharing locations across multiple apps. A unified map where groups can pin spots would simplify this.

Create a mobile app with a shared map layer where users can add notes, photos, and labels visible to their group.

Travel groups and local explorers would pay for premium features like route planning and offline access.

Start with basic shared pinning functionality, then add social features.

The biggest risk is competing with established map apps adding similar features.
