Is anyone already working on a Nostr based location recommendation places app?

Likely include a new kind that requires location specific data like a text description, name, gps coordinates, rating 1-5, etc.

So I can post my recommendations that I know around me, each recommendation is like a signed note, and people that have me in their web of trust can see all my recommendations or aggregate recommendations across who they follow?

Basically to replace the points of interest reviews and recommendation sites of yelp and Google maps with something decentralized.

Not sure. But would this need to have GPS? Was thinking of something like Atlas Obscura, works perfectly fine without needing your location.(?)

I don’t think the client would need to know your position for the user to search through and find things that interest them. But I think the latitude and longitude (gps) makes finding the place that you are recommending easier without depending on an external centralized service.

This entry for example has the lat, Lon of the place and a link to Google maps. So if I’m interested I know where it is. That is pretty much all I mean.
