Add some sort of photo map layer
Nico
It would be nice to have a new map layer which displays photos on the map. Maybe something similar to Komoot Trail View, Google Earth Photos or OsmAnd Explore. This is useful to get a feel for a region, discover new places to go, assessing the possibility of wildcamping and most importantly seeing the road type and condition.

I think this idea can be combined with multiple photos upload - I have a lot of photos of trail surface with geotagging and it would be great if user is able to upload multiple of them at once. For viewing - don't forget about "created at" info and some sort of community suggestions for added photos (wrong geolocation, inapproriate photo, outdated).

That's great suggestion. Do you mean a feature where users can upload their own photos or use some public source?
I'm thinking about adding community POI (points of interests) which could also work as photo layer.

Kacper Golinski It depends on what you want from the photos. Different sources would provide different value. Public source is probably more general while community photos could add biketouring specific information you cannot find anywhere else.
And community POI would be great! That is actually a good implementation for my other POI related suggestion I posted (add POIs, differentiate .POIs and add information to POIs) .

Nico I would prefer to source community photos, they would be bike and bike touring specific as you mentioned.
I was thinking also about compbining POI with Trail View. I'm thinking that POI could have type "trail view" (beside all other types) which would be just a photo of a trail conditions.

Kacper Golinski Yes, absolutely! That would be a great way to add trail view!
